It goes deeper than that.  The const_cast BS in that function is wrong, 
wrong, wrong.  (How can the function be const when it calls str(), which 
_does_ modify the stream object?)  But tug on that thread, and the whole 
damn library starts unraveling, it seems like.

I've temporarily withdrawn 1.7.18 as a result.  I'm going to have to 
spend some time really thinking about what to do with this before 
releasing it.  I may not get it finished today, in which case it will 
have to wait for Monday.
