IF the line STRING* gonzo = "test_str.txt"; was INSIDE a function, it was always bad,
but would survive compile and sometimes testing, but its still bad.
STRING* gonzo = "test_str.txt"; syntax is for global strings (outside a function)
STRING* gonzo = str_create("test_str.txt"); syntax is for local strings (inside a function)
IF you are using STRING* gonzo = "test_str.txt"; syntax as a global string, then I dont know whats up,
(I only have 7.73.0 but I dont have any issues like this)
