Unless someone has defined a valid assignment or conversion path for
this that I don't normally use you have to do this to your constant
strings:
> sString = MAKE_STRING("Find the case!");
at least that's why MAKE_STRING exists in the first place.
It's not surprising that ConvertANSIToUnicode() would crash if these
assignments were producing an invalid pointer.
