data doesn't necessarily return a zero-terminated string, it simply returns
a ptr to the raw data.  It is only zero-terminated if you call c_str() which
is, of course, why there are two functions in the first place.

This is in the wrong mailing list however, redirect it to the appropriate
gnu gcc mailing list.
