VS2012 c++ <Error reading characters of string.>

Question

I'm trying to debug a c++ project in visual studio 2012 and when attempting to view a string value I get the error 'Error reading characters of string.'. The only relevant article I can find is here: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/721456

but my project has none of the relevant preprocessor options set.

Heres a screenshot to show exactly what I mean

Any help on this error would be much appreciated!

Well known magic numbers
