I've been working on this bug extensively.

It has at least two causes:
1) the content of a STRING is stored in a NATIVE_ARRAY[CHARACTER] which is markedat the end with a "storage_signature", the sequence 0,3,9,27 beyond the nominal end of the array.
2) each deep_twin feature is created by the compiler

The problem is that deep_twin, does not call invoke copy but just copies field-by-field and AFAICS does some assumptions on STRING implementations that are not true when the storage_signature has been applied.

This bug can't be solved at library level but my knowledge of the C back-end is not strong enough.

I have moved the storage_signature logic into debug statement so "normal" compilation modes work fine.

deep_twin also badly interacts with profiling.

I thought to commit the changes into the main trunk but there is too many changes. I will push branch "deep-twin-in-pure-eiffel" to work on all those changes.

Deep_twin also does not work with TUPLEs

test/language/memory/test_deep_twin.e compiles but when run it triggers an invariant violation:

* Error at Run Time *: Class Invariant Violation.
* Error at Run Time *: storage_signature_count > 0 implies (has_storage_signature implies check_valid_storage_signature)
3 frames in run-time stack.
