I know that I'm doing something stupid but it isn't obvious to me what.  I'm 
trying to write a compressed file using:

            namespace BI = boost::iostreams;
            BI::filtering_ostream out;
            std::fstream mfile("test.gz", std::ios::binary|std::ios::out);
            out.push(BI::bzip2_compressor());
            out.push(mfile);
            out << "This is a gz file" << endl;

but when I do so, the file is always empty.  Commenting out the push of the 
bzip2_compressor works like I'd expect.

Any help for a newbie?

Thanks
B
