You don't expect this, on which basis? For sure, the standard offers no 
guarantees. Quite to the contrary, std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false); is 
the correct approach if you want to trade sync with stdio for speed: on 
this, see, f.i., Josuttis, pp. 682.

More generally, if you think that something is seriously wrong, the 
recommended procedure is filing a complete GNATS PR 
(http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl), /not/ posting to the 
discussion lists.

Thanks, Paolo.
