[Bug c++/13084] New: class string with find(const char* cstr, size_type idx) member have different gcc 2.95 and gcc 3.3 behaviour

["ronald dot van dot uden at rabobank dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

problem: 
char* charPointerString = input;
while ((iPos = myStr.find(charPointerString, iPos)) != string::npos){}//an 
infinite loop
workaround:
string myString(input);
while ((iPos = myStr.find(myString, iPos)) != string::npos){}//

gcc 2.95 and gcc 3.3 implementation difference of class string with find() 
members
 
the string function
size_type string::find (const char* cstr, size_type idx) const
never finds the string it is looking for in gcc33 when cstr==""
 
the string function
size_type string::find(const string& str, size_type idx) const
works properly on gcc33 when str==""
______________________________________________________
the function find (const char* cstr, size_type idx)  seems to work fine on 
gcc2.95

Operating System: Sun Solaris9
