--- Comment #14 from Michael Haubenwallner <michael.haubenwallner at salomon dot at> 2012-08-30 07:33:16 UTC --- Indeed, the old buffer is freed before being copied. Yep, this isn't a regression. In fact, with 4.4.3 it was the /empty string/ having the size of 1 in the comment#0 testcase, so bug#40518 actually improved things here. However, doesn't any operation with (const _CharT*, size_type) as input parameter potentially have a problem with ( own.c_str(), own.size()+1 ) ?
