Well the problem was solved with inline assembly thanks to Jeffry Loucks, but for completeness sake the code was very similar to this. The code wasn't specified to be in inline, although it was small enough that it could have been.

static    //tried with and without
const char *GetTimeStamp(void)
{
return "chrisbruner"__DATE__ "&" __TIME__"someothertag";
}

Yes, it's definitely pulling the string from the global data segment instead of from code. Can you provide the actual source code you compiled here? I know literal strings will be stuck in the data segment in some cases, like being used in an inline function.
