Ageed, but why is that the issue shows up only for 32-bit compilation
and not for 64-bit, the machine it was compiled on?

I'm doing it this way...its efficient although doesn't look clean :)
char foo::operator [] (const int i) const{    return
std::string::operator[](i);}
char foo::operator [] (const int i) {    return std::string::operator[]
(i);}

Thanks for your explanation.
