help - weird string size limit

This is a strange one, I am using a string in VC 6 and I am simply
successively appending to it. The string is defined as a local variable (on
stack) but I've also tried it as a class variable with the same results. As
I build the string once the size gets to 255 characters I hit a limit and
cannot add anymore to the string. I've taken the code snippet and built it
outside of the application and it works just fine so I'm assuming that some
include file or interaction between includes (the app is mostly c++ but also
includes some of the vanila c headers) is causing my problem. Has anyone
seen this or can someone shed some light on this one?

TIA
Ron
