I checked:

So yes, I'd say it's the same bug. I'll try switching to the SVN version.

The bad news is that this is a vanilla Ubuntu Gutsy install, so it may
affect quite a few people.

To be clear: I don't really want to treat wchar_t * as an array, I'd
like to treat it as a string, just like char *. The app I'm working
on uses utf-16 for strings.

Thanks very much for the quick response.
