For array allocations, you need to take care that the array is deallocated using the array delete [] operator, i.e. char *buf = new char[len]; delete [] buf; Using an auto_ptr<char> is incorrect in this situation, because it will deallocate using the non-array delete operator. You should use boost::scoped_array (or boost::shared_array if it is to be reference counted) instead.
