STL bug in VS.NET 2002

Hi everyone,

I use Visual Studio .NET 2002 right now, and I discovered a bug last night
that I have found few references to on the internet. Basically, if you
allocated a null-terminated char array that is 16 bytes or longer to
std::string, it stores garbage into it:

std::string s = "1234567890123456";

I tried this on .NET 2003 at work, and this bug has been fixed. Indeed, I
stepped into the string code, and found the difference somewhere in
<xstring>.

Anyway, my question is: what do I do? Do I really have to remove 2002 and
install 2003? Is there an bug-free STL implementation that I can download
somewhere and use instead? I have found no mention of this bug on M$ website
(big surprise).

Thank you for your time,

Tony
