Probably. This should be fixed in trunk and the new release.

In case you're interested, there's an iterator created using an
iterator adpator that converts windows newlines to single character
newlines. But it was incorrectly tagged as a random access iterator -
so std::string's constructor uses 'operator-' and gets the length of
the original string (with '\r\n's) but then fills it with the newlines
converted to single (so the string is shorter) leaving some junk
characters at the end.
