Well, in FSF sources (GCC-3.1), the definition of
basic_string<>::c_str() reads 

      // String operations:
      const _CharT* 
      c_str() const
      {
        // MT: This assumes concurrent writes are OK.
        size_type __n = this->size();
        traits_type::assign(_M_data()[__n], _Rep::_S_terminal);
        return _M_data();
      }

So, I think you're talking of something that is Apple source specific.
