Presumably.

I'm wondering why the header changed names...  since strstreams were never
part of the standard, there's no reason to give their header a new-style
name.  Unfortunately, the drive containing my copy of the libstdc++ repo is
a smoking pile of bits, so I don't know why the change was made, or when,
or what the log entry was.

Once I figure out how to get a woody bf24 kernel to recognize large drives,
I'll be back in business.
