I can tell you why (stupid me added it in first place).
(QString + QString) creates a temporal object and ascii() returns an
internal
reference to a member of this, so the point returned will only be valid
as long
as the object lives (til the next line). This is the source for many
upcoming
problems within KDE as many applications use .data() and rely on it to
live
forever ;(

Greetings, Stephan
