Discussion:

In C++03 `strstreambuf` was not copyable, because `basic_streambuf` wasn't copyable. In C++11 we made `basic_streambuf` copyable by derived classes, and `strstreambuf` doesn't define any special members, so it (unintentionally?) became copyable, with completely unspecified semantics.

VC++ and libc++ make it movable not copyable, and libstdc++ still follows C++03, so it's neither movable nor copyable. Making it movable seems to be the sane option, and consistent with `filebuf` and `stringbuf`.
