Done.
================
Comment at: include/istream:601
+ streamsize __n = __is.width();
+ if (__n <= 0)
+ __n = numeric_limits<streamsize>::max() / sizeof(_CharT) - 1;
----------------

It should probably be the signed type corresponding to `size_t` (which is what Posix.2 calls `ssize_t`).

My interpretation of 27.5.3.2 is that you can retrieve the value you set through `width(streamsize)`. And the wording here (unmodified) says "If `width()` is greater than zero, [...]," so the opposite should be `width() <= 0`.
