Hmm... This cannot be.  Normally, the ostrstream should be
instantiated properly and not be NULL.  There should be no problem
instantiating an ostrstream and writing into it...

Likewise, I do not understand why this should be a problem - DDD
`string's can hold up to 2^31 characters.

Can you give a concrete examples where this fails (such as a
~/.ddd/log file)?
