We don't have DEC's C++ compiler (can't afford it), so we have used g++
on Digital Unix 4.0, which seems to work fine.  I'll see if we can get
access to an evaluation copy or to another OSF1 4.0 platform with DEC's
cxx on it to debug the problem.  

From the above, it appears to me to be a problem with an incomplete
stream implementation.  Does the following simple 7-line program compile
and run with DEC's cxx, producing "1" as output?

#include <iostream.h>
int
main( void )
{
   short s = 1;
   cout << s << '\n';
}

If not, I think you should report this as a bug to DEC.
