 Hello,
 
 this problems appears on:
 
 1) Redhat Linux 7.2 and 7.3
 Output of gcc -v:
 
 Reading specs from 
 /usr/local/gcc-alt-3.2/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/specs
 Configured with: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-alt-3.2 --enable-shared
 Thread model: posix
 gcc version 3.2
 
 2) SuSE Linuz 8.0
 Output of gcc -v:
   
 Reading specs from 
 /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/specs
 Configured with: /root/gcc-3.2/configure

 This is exactly what I get, and this is my problem!
 Moreover the C-string is always terminated at the first such character, as 
 the output of the example code shows:
 
 String size = 6
 C-string size = 5
 i = 1
 i = 1
 2nd string size = 9
 2nd C-string size = 5
 i = 1_1
 i = 1
 
 This behaviour did not exist on earlier versions of gcc, eg. 2.95.x
 
 Kind regards,
 Ioannis.
