Because iostream::eof will only be set after reading the end of the stream. It does not indicate, that the next read will be the end of the stream.
Consider this (and assume then next read will be at the end of the stream):
while(!inStream.eof()){
int data;
// yay, not end of stream yet, now read ...
inStream >> data;
// oh crap, now we read the end and *only* now the eof bit will be set (as well as the fail bit)
// do stuff with (now uninitialized) data
}
