  * resolution:  => wontfix

Comment:

 This is most likely caused by
 [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2843440&group_id=2435&atid=102435

 MinGW Issue 2843440], stemming from a thread safety problem with
 msvcrt.dll and iostream imbue.

 This is still an issue on Windows XP SP3 (as of March, 2011).

 Work-around (empirically): mutex all streaming over the entire life of the
 stream object, including constructor and destructor.
