Even though a patch by Mark Mitchell has already fixed the bug that
exposed this problem, I still think that it would be wise to make
ios::streamsize be the same type as ::streamsize, wouldn't it?

The problem is that, on DU4.0, some definitions of
/usr/include/reg_types.h conflict with those in libg++/librx/rx.h

reg_types.h is
        included from /usr/include/sys/lc_core.h:64,
                 from /usr/include/sys/localedef.h:79,
                 from /usr/include/ctype.h:111,
                 from /home/msc/oliva/src/egcs-main/libg++/src/Regex.cc:26:

I've come up with the attached (admittedly dirty and error-prone :-)
patch to work around the problem.  The weird thing is, although I
started using libg++ 2.8.1.3 at least 2 weeks ago, the problem only
appeared in the last snapshot.  But I thought Martin would like to
know about it...
