It is the same assert - but being hit from very different causes.
Fixing one cause does not fix all the other cause(s). One has to look
further down the debugger stack traces to see where the brokn code
actually is.

We have a number of these ways to hit String assert() being found and no
doubt more will continue to be found until we get rid of the broken
String class entirely from Squid. Which is why patches like yours are so
important to get rid of the String variables entirely ASAP rather than
just fixing how it gets used in that one code path. Thank you for that.
