basic_string operator<< broken in for wchar_t in egcs 1.1.1

[Baron Roberts]

BUG: STL basic_string operator<< broken in egcs 1.1.1 on RedHat Linux 5.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The basic_string operator<< incorrectly assumes a single byte per
character. This breaks for a wchar_t string. The operator should
multiple the length of the string by the character size when providing
the stream size to the ostream write() method.

The fix effects the file:

	libstdc++/std/bastring.cc

ChangeLog entries and diff -cp follow.

	* std/bastring.cc (operator<<): Stream size must be legnth
	of string multiplied by the size of the character type.
