Description Need Real Name 2002-12-27 05:40:40 UTC
Description of problem:
In a simple do ...while loop program to open a file as many times as the user 
wants, Red Hat 8.0 will not open the file more than once.  It worked in 7.3, 
so it appears that I am missing part of a new update , or something is missing.

Thanks,
Tom

Assigning to libstdc++ component, since your example is in C++.

Comment 3 Benjamin Kosnik 2003-01-17 17:21:00 UTC
This is a change in behavior, but is not a bug. Please read this:
