It's intentional that the copy-constructor and operator= of streambuf
are private. A look at the streambuf header unveils:

----------------snip here---------------------
#ifdef _GLIBCPP_RESOLVE_LIB_DEFECTS
    // Side effect of DR 50.
    private:
      basic_streambuf(const __streambuf_type&);

      __streambuf_type& 
      operator=(const __streambuf_type&);
#endif
----------------snip here---------------------

The explanation can be found in DR (defect report) 50:
