  protected: virtual int doallocate();
 
  Remarks
 
  Called by allocate when space is needed. The doallocate function must
  allocate a reserve area, then call setb to attach the reserve area to
  the streambuf object. If the reserve area allocation fails, doallocate
  returns EOF.
 
  Default Implementation
 
  Attempts to allocate a reserve area using operator new.
