Description
The source string pointer becomes invalid when a new string entry is allocated in the string table : the call to push_back moves the data to a new place and the old one gets erased. This makes the rawString pointer invalid and copied data is bad. The bug can be seen in Torin's passage (CD/Windows/French) : the save data file has a name with garbage in it. Attached is a fix proposal.
