seek bug in stringstream?

[Lars Gullik Bjønnes]

Since I got not reaction to this patch last time I sent it I'll resend
it now. I am _not_ sure that this is the correct fix, but it makes
tellp/seekoff for a stringstream behave closer to seekoff for
strstream and fstream (and ftell for that matter).
