I'm wondering what should happen when assigning a cString to another where both have pointers to the same buffer? As of version 1.3.36, we first free it and duplicate it afterwards.
Why would you want this, or better why should two cStrings point to the same buffer?
From what I can see, cBuffer was intended to be constructed with TakePointer = false, in that case the string is duped anyway, or with true in which case you handed over the buffer to cString and shouldn't use it further.
Anyway, if those two strings that point to the same buffer are destroyed, the buffer becomes free'd twice, which is certainly illegal as well :-)
