I would appreciate more eyes on this to confirm my conclusions about
negative int_type values, and the proposed fix, make sense.
Tested x86_64-linux.

A negative value for the delim value passed to std::istream::ignore can
never match any character in the stream, because the comparison is done
using traits_type::eq_int_type(sb->sgetc(), delim) and sgetc() never
returns negative values (except at EOF). The optimized version of
ignore for the std::istream specialization uses traits_type::find to
locate the delim character in the streambuf, which _can_ match a
negative delim on platforms where char is signed, but then we do another
comparison using eq_int_type which fails. The code then keeps looping
forever, with traits_type::find saying the character is present and
eq_int_type saying it's not.
A possible fix would be to check with eq_int_type after a successful
find, to see whether we really have a match. However, that would be
suboptimal since we know that a negative delimiter will never match
using eq_int_type. So a better fix is to adjust the check at the top of
the function that handles delim==eof(), so that we treat all negative
delim values as equivalent to EOF. That way we don't bother using find
to search for something that will never match with eq_int_type.
The version of ignore in the primary template doesn't need a change,
because it doesn't use traits_type::find, instead characters are
extracted one-by-one and always matched using eq_int_type. That avoids
the inconsistency between find and eq_int_type.
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
PR libstdc++/93672
* src/c++98/istream.cc (istream::ignore(streamsize, int_type)):
Treat all negative delimiter values as eof().
