Comment (by dev_at_[hidden]):

 Added the string.hpp and got the same result.

 Using g++ version 4.3.1 also got the same result. (don't know if the 4.3.1
 stdlib from gcc-snapshot is automatically used when switching the compiler
 in kdevelop)

 Adding a character to "BarST" -> "BarSTx" leads to _no_ overwriting.
 Removing a character from "BarST" -> "BarS" leads to _no_ overwriting.

 So this problem only exists when the _lengths of the strings match_ like
 they did in my program when the bug first occured to me.
