Comment (by abel@…):

 No, I did not. I noticed it when working on a dirty hack to get
 program_options to work with c++0x using Windows' GetEnvironmentStrings
 where I consequently had to touch this routine.

 A segmentation fault might obviously occur when other codes doesn't just
 use the pointer semantics as get() is public, but that's probably not
 what's considered a practical issue. Thanks for the quick response tho!
