libg++ 2.7.1.3 hosed?

[joe at whyknot (Joe)]

Is it just me, or are streams profoundly broken in libg++-2.7.1.3? I
can make cout and cerr work well enough, but any code that tries to
use fstreams compiles fine but crashes with a segmentation fault when
it tries to read or write an fstream, and if I attempt to examine an
fstream object in gdb it says thinks like "ofstream_1: <incomplete
type>". And I am using the correct gcc (2.7.2) and libc (5.2.16). And yes,
I read the release notes and did everything right. And yes, I am checking
the stream objects for ok-ness.

Unfortunately, this version of libg++ is apparently needed by the Java
libs. Any clues? I got my libg++ from ftp.cc.gatech; maybe it's
corrupted somehow?
