Subject:	[c++ stl] std::string bug?

Hi,

It seems that one constructor of the std::string class or the data() method
doesn't work properly.

string::data() and string::c_str() are supposed to be equivalent but don't
always behave the same.

have a look at the following  code and its test.

....?

Thanks,
Gwenaël

PS: I update cygwin this morning => 1.3.9
