Right, you're supposed to be able to do this.

I've changed you're code a bit (see attached), since the code you posted doesn't
compile.

Here's the situation:

- The code works with GCC 3.4 (Cygwin), Intel 8.0 with Dinkumware, and VC7.1.
- If the line

    out << speech << std::endl;

is replaced by

   out << speech << "\n";

the code works with GCC 3.4, Intel 8.0 and VC7.1 in release mode, but hangs at
the end of the function test_encryption_filter() with VC7.1 in debug mode. (Note
when I say "works", it might not work as you expected, since the stream is never
flushed so the output is empty.)

I'm not sure why the program hangs in debug mode, but I'm hoping it will be
easier to track down than if it only failed in release mode ;-) It may be a
problem in how resources are cleaned up when a stream is closed, which has
proved to be the main source of bugs.

I'm not sure when I'll be able to work on it, but I'll let you know what I
discover.
