>Description:
See the attached program. If you run to line 137 and do the
command "print getDiscountFor(customerName)" (or substitue
"John" for customerName) you get a SIGSEGV.

If you "print customerName" before doing this you'll see that
its a valid std::string.

>How-To-Repeat:
1. Unzip and build quote sample app.
2. Run gdb on "dist/Debug/GNU-Solaris-x86/quote" (ignore the
   Solaris part)
3. Set breakpoint on line 137 and run the app
4. Type "John" at the prompt
5. When the breakpoint is hit, type
   "print getDiscountFor(customerName)"
