Comment(by Mark Domschot <mark.domschot@…>):

 Hi again,

 My explanation of the issue is not entirely correct (sorry, I am rather
 unfamiliar with the source code of boost).  It would be more accurate to
 say:
 When a vectorstream is constructed, it specifically calls
 'basic_ios_t::init()' on 'm_buf' after it calls its base constructor
 constructor (which calls init()).
