Description
It appears that newer releases of the MS VC++ run time library trigger an assert if you try to access characters in a string past the last character, ie if you try to access the character where one would expect the terminating null character to be in a normal character array type of string. Thus, a bug which has been around for ever has been discovered.

Correct via patch suipplied by user. Code in the rcWellKnownText.cpp module was trying to access characters at the end of the string in a manner simnilar to what would be acceptabel for a normal character array, but illegal on a std::string.
