  Can't modify object's internal buffer variable after calling
  OMString::GetBuffer().
  

Problem conclusion

• A new function, OMString::ReleaseBuffer(), was added in
  version 8.0.3. After using GetBuffer(), you should call
  OMString::ReleaseBuffer(), passing it new length of modified
  string buffer, before using the modified buffer in any other
  way. For more information, do an Internet search for
  CString::ReleaseBuffer.
