As you say, all normal usage should be between 2 different buffers. It 
doesn't seem legal to me that 2 cStings would share the same buffer. 
This would always cause things to blow up when the destructors are called.

The only way that I can come up with is to assign a cString to itself 
(as per my example main.c elsewhere in this thread). I imagine this 
could happen legally under some limited circumstances.

I don't know the details of the scenario seen by Holger.
