+      return theme_config->FindVector((themeroot+Name).c_str());

themeroot+Name is a temporary string which gets soon destroyed whereas
the pointer to it is passed to FindVector.

Here the temporary string is handled via call by value which makes a copy of it.
This is save.

But I agree that this fix is not described in the commit log so maybe
it was not noticed (or I'm wrong :-))
