Comment (by ramey):

 I presume that "to _no_ overwriting" refers to an exception.

 This looks very much like a bug in the standard library implementation
 being used. I'll have look at the serialization string implemention.  I
 wouldn't want to have to create a new string on all platforms just to work
 around this.  Keep me posted if you find a good (portable?) fix for this.
