Can you please try the following program with the latest compiler and
libraries?

You'll need to use an output filter or terminal settings that will
actually display NUL characters in the output.  When I run this
program and output just goes to the xterm window, it looks OK.  But if
I save the output in a file, and look at the file with Emacs, the
first character is an ASCII NUL.

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>

int
main (void)
{
  cout << setw (11) << setprecision (4);
  cout.flags (ios::scientific);
  cout << 1.23456789 << endl;
  return 0;
}
