>Description:
The file "$HOME/foo.bar" should be opened whether it exists or not.  g++-2.95.3 works, however g++-3.22 doesn't work when the file doesn't exist; it says "cannot open /home/kawai/foo.bar"

>How-To-Repeat:
using namespace std;

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

int main(void)
{
string filename(getenv("HOME"));
filename += "/foo.bar";

std::fstream foo;
foo.open(filename.c_str(),ios::in | ios::out);

if (!foo) {
    cerr << "Cannot open " << filename << endl;
} else {
    cerr << "successfully opened " << filename << endl;
}

foo.close();

return 0;
}
