Just read the audit trail, about that. In particular my comment #3: portable C++ code using pipes has better being very very careful with short reads, because the current Standard is way too vague in this area (improvements in system programming support are certainly planned for C++0x). That said, the next 3.4.x is not scheduled for tomorrow, we shall fix it in time, don't worry. By the way, I would suggest pronouncing "broken" using the same intonation of Martin Landau's Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood: "Beware, beware... broken, broken..." ;) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21286
