The thing you don't get is that the former is only happening because you
fail to handle the exception that is thrown during the call to memset().
The proper behaviour is to throw an exception, not put up some goofy
message the developer can't do a damn thing about.  "StringMgr.c:4375, NULL
string passed" indeed - how does that help anyone?
