I dont think you can actually be sure about this, since we can't know
if SetLngGetString doesnt return a std::wstring or some other type
that has implicit conversion from wchar_t.
I believe more information is needed to know why the difference is
occurring. Though it sure seems like a pointer comparision problem.
