Yup, the 'const' pretty much kills the reason for making it a writable
buffer ;-)

Glad it worked. Feel free to send a bug report to the OS vendor. I bet
it's going to be fixes as soon as MSVC starts supporting putting const
strings in readonly memory (or perhaps that's *why* MSVC doesn't do it
yet).
