std::basic_string<> and threads - patch

Sat Apr 1 00:00:00 GMT 2000

I tested my patch again past weekend and I must say it does not work :-(.
It is not possible to disable the reference counting this way I did in my 
patch, so please do not aply it.

In my previous tests I overlooked the simplest case if one creates
a empty string (the static member _S_empty_rep_storage is used).

It is possible to use a static _Rep object without changing its members,
but it would require a major rewriting of the _Rep class.
I could do it...

BTW. The _Rep members _M_size and _M_capacity are invisible in a debugger.
I think it would be better to have them in basic_string.
