>Description:
When using 'mode' argument in ofstream
e.g. ofstream f("tm", ios::bin);
mode bit 'ios::out' gets cleaned so you have to type
ofstream f("tm", ios::out|ios::bin);

The same problem with ifstream.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
place 
 'mode |= ios::in;' in ifstream::ifstream(...)
and
 'mode |= ios::out;' in ofstream::ofstream(...)
