Code to compile

Description of problem:
When running following code:

#include <locale>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    std::wstring wide(L"ala");

    std::locale locale;
    std::mbstate_t mystate;

    const std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, std::mbstate_t>& facet =
    std::use_facet<std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, std::mbstate_t> >( locale );

    std::codecvt<wchar_t,char, std::mbstate_t>::result myresult;

    size_t length = 1000;
    char* buffer = new char[length];

    const wchar_t* pwc;
    char* pc;


    // translate characters:
    myresult = facet.out (mystate,
                            wide.c_str(), wide.c_str()+ wide.size(), pwc,
                            buffer, buffer + length, pc);

    delete [] buffer;

    if ( myresult == std::codecvt<wchar_t,char,mbstate_t>::ok )
        return 0;
    else
        return 1;
}

I receive following output from valgrind:

When I use this code in some larger application it crashes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libc 2.13
gcc version 4.5.1 20100924 (Red Hat 4.5.1-4) (GCC)

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.g++ main.cpp -o AAA
2.valgrind ./AAA
