        Done.

        Sounds non-ideal :-) makes me wonder if some sort of unit test could be
constructed there, but I guess it's GUI code.

        That aside - I've never been a big fan of the "crash on bad input" mode
of OUString::copy() that seems incredibly lame to me. Is there any
convincing performance reason that anyone can work out for not just
returning an empty string in these cases ? ie. create a new rtl _copy
method that does the checking out-of-line in the method: I wonder how
common the case of copy() a full string is that we in-line the check for
that.

        ATB,

                Michael.
