sstream (probably revisited)

[jacob smith]

Howdy! The last time I updated my GCC library there was no sstream (stringstream). Does v 3.0 have a working stringstream? I tried looking for one and found a 2.95.2(?) but it appeared that the ostringstream code didn't work (i.e. I couldn't figure out how to make it work?).
 
example code that *should* work:
 
std::ostringstream oss;
std::string s = "1235";
oss<<s;
long L = 0;
oss>>L;
std::cout<<L<<std::endl;
 
should output: 1235
current output: 0
-->same holds for stringstream. Also my compiler sometimes crashes if I don't append a '\n' to the end of strings when using istringstream and then use the extraction operator (>>).
