Comment (by js):
String corruption does indeed sound like the ++ that was accidentally
added in glibc by 0006. Can you try hrev46660?
About the Type* operator(): This basically makes sure that you can use it
like a normal array, i.e. it gets automatically converted to a pointer,
just like a normal array. The idea was that you can easily switch code to
BStackOrHeapArray. The only thing that of course will break is sizeof().
But sizeof on an array isn't a good idea anyway, as just switching that
array to a pointer will also break it.
Not having that operator would mean code needs to be changed in ugly ways.
E.g. if you want to pass a pointer to the data of the array (which seems
to be the most common operation), you'd need to change it to &foo[0]
instead of foo.
