seek problem on strstream

[Benoit MAIRE]

With the following version of the compiler, I have a strange result.
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-112)

It seems that seekp give a bad result after a write in this case. All 
works fine up to byte number 3101.
Result given is :
0
4

I hopped a result of
0
0

The same code works fine on SGI with SGI compilers. It also work on 
linux with gcc3.
Is there a known limitation of strstream or a bad usage in this code or 
is it a library bug ?

#include <strstream.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>

int main( int, char** )
{
  strstream s;
  char buff[3429];
  memset( buff, 'A', sizeof buff );
  char tmp[10];
  memset( tmp, 'B', sizeof tmp );

  s.write( buff, 3429 );
  s.seekp( 0 );
  s.write( tmp, 10 );  // This write makes the stream to fail for a seek 
after byte 3102

  s.seekp( 3101 );
  cout << s.fail() << endl;
  s.seekp( 3102 );
  cout << s.fail() << endl;

  return 0;
}
