There is nothing wrong with BCC. It is just that MSVC++6.0 probably uses
string pooling by default, which merges duplicate strings, making two "aaa"s
point to the same memory. In BCC this feature is off by default (you can
enable it, -d flag I think).

Though I would recommend using std::string instead of char * as it has
proper operators.
