    g++ strings c_str() function and fork()

    I've had this problem and so has my friend today.

    We have a program where we fork() another process and inside of that, we reassign a string that was created outside of the fork(). Inside of the fork, in the child process, a new string should in an essence be created for use. When the value of the string is evaluated, it's correct. However, when we run the c_str() function on it, it acts as if we haven't changed it (maybe it's referring back to the value in the other process). Is this a bug or is this bad usage on our part?

    Thanks.
    David
