This is the wrong mailing list for such questions, the gcc-help list
would be appropriate.

This usually means you have a reference to a local or a reference to a
temporary that has gone out of scope. With the COW std::string you
could usually get away with that, because the actual string
representation wasn't always destroyed when objects went out of scope.
With the new std::string you have to be more careful, invalid uses of
destroyed objects result in accesses to deleted or clobbered memory.
