  One question, not knowing C++, but what happens when you call
(p_target)->append() with a string with embedded NUL bytes (and not just a
NUL character ('\0') at the end)?  From your problem, it seems like append()
will stop appending when it sees p_size non-NUL characters, or at the first
NUL character.
