This is undefined behaviour. The temporary QCString object created as return value of 'fromUnicode' will be destroyed at the end of the full expression, i.e. basically at the semicolon in the first line. So 'foo' points to nirvana immediately after its initialization. Using it afterwards is wrong. Andre'
