Well, don't say that the members aren't being initialized, because they are:

      explicit
      basic_ios(basic_streambuf<_CharT, _Traits>* __sb)
      : ios_base(), _M_ctype(0), _M_num_put(0), _M_num_get(0)
      { this->init(__sb); }

(The names of the variables were changed mid-May.)

The crash is because _M_ctype is still NULL when op>> is executed, leading to
a NULL facet argument in __check_facet.  basic_ios::init makes an attempt to
cache the facet, but since has_facet is (I expect) false for pod_char, the
members are not assigned new values.

I don't know what the Right Thing is here.
