Warren, Bill
I have managed to modify the mysql++ code to remove the problem.
In the query ctors, instead of initialising the base class with std::ostream(0) and then
calling init(sbuffer_) in the body of the ctor, just initialise with
std::ostream(sbuffer_).
I havent looked through the visual c++ standard code enough to be able to explain it
completely, but calling std::ostream(0) and then calling init effectively calls
basic_ostream::init twice. Initialising the stream twice must be what is causing the
problem.
An alternative would be to default construct std::ostream and then call init, but don't
call std::ostream(0) and then init.
I'm not sure what the meaning of calling std::ostream(0) is anyway.
I am not sure what effect this change would have on mysql++ using other implementations of
the c++ standard library, but from looking at the code in the gnu standard library, it
looks like it will all work the same - except that it doesn't leak when you call init
twice apparently.
