 I don't believe data() and c_str() are supposed to be the same.
 If I remember correctly, data() is not guaranteed to be null-terminated.

 This is most likely irrelevant.

  This is interesting.  Now we can try this compiler on a non-cygwin system.
 I did and Irix 6.5 w g++ 2.95.3 gives the same result.
 This is fixed (assuming it's a bug  -- see above) in 3.0

 g++ 2.95 has a number of bugs that have been fixed in version 3 and above.
I don't imagine they'll be fixed.
