Garbage in the output produced by StChain

[plexoos]

The problem may be related to #150
The output from the test jobs looks normal. So, I suspect the initialization of the ostringstream buffer utilized by the STAR logger is not performed correctly as demonstrated by the sample macro... TBC

If no solution offered by the end of the day #150 should be reverted on the main branch until fully understood.

This is the end of STAR ROOT -- Goodbye

Looks like there is still a NUL character added to the end of the buffer (by endm?)

	LOG_INFO << "--------------Error Codes-------------------------" << endm;
	LOG_INFO << " nStOK nStWarn nStEOF nStErr nStFatal" << endm;
	TString tail("");
	for( Int_t i=0; i<=kStFatal; i++) tail += Form("%10d",fgTallyMaker[i]);
	if (tail != "")
	LOG_INFO << (const Char_t *)tail << endm;
	LOG_INFO << "--------------------------------------------------" << endm;

@plexoos Good catch. In my last commit I've basically introduced the same kind of error as the one I was fixing. This line had become an extra:

star-sw/StRoot/StUtilities/StMessageCounter.cxx

Line 192 in 27cab58

*this << ends;
