"On fixing the pointer access I discovered that reading osga archives
containing ive files went into a cpu loop. This turned out to be a
problem with proxy_streambuf on Solaris. Public methods in the Solaris
streambuf standard library implementation rely on the gptr() being set,
which proxy_streambuf was not doing. So I have modified
proxy_streambuf to set the input sequence pointers, and have also
aligned it more with the standard library streambuf implementation
where all input is through underflow(), not uflow() which merely calls
underflow() and advances the pointer."
From Robert Osfield, change from using pointer cast and assignment to using
a templated _write and _read method to avoid pointer aliasing to 2/4/8
byte boundaries that some computer system may produce. These changes
where inspried by Colin McDonalds change to using memcpy, these
changes weren't merged as memcpy is not as clear in naming as _read,
_write and memcpy will incurr a function call just for copy a
uint.
