TCPStream output flush() clears input

[Ian Campbell]

Hello,
    I am trying to use the TCPStream class and I have a problem when trying
to flush the output to the remote host, that the input gets cleared. Now
from my understanding of the iostream this shouldn't happen - only the
output should be cleared. Is this a confusion on my part or should this not
happen? At the moment I have worked around (for the purposes of writing the
application)  by using a buffer size of 1, which eliminates the need for any
control of the output buffering. Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
