This is probably because you haven't closely paid attention to the
documentation
(like eg. found in the DWP):

>    cout.form(" => %8.2f (%d:%s)", v, str.length(), str.data()) << endl;

'data()' is indeed defined to return the internal representation,
potentially without a
terminating '\0'! Use 'c_str()' if you want a '\0' terninated
representation.
