Those 10 test do have to run in separate executables for reasons stated 
above.

This is a separate issue.  This would apply to all the other tests.  I 
believe that the temporary file is only left if in fact the test fails - 
otherwise it is deleted.

I have found that stringstream doesn't generally handle code_cvt facets and 
locales as I would expect.  In my limiited testing with them it seemed to 
just ignore locale issues.  I don't know if this is peculiar to the the 
library implementation I was using or if its a universal thing.  Anyway - My 
confidence in using stringstream for testing was shaken and I invested 
effort in deleting temporary files.
