/**
 * Test case provided #41 Fix for SafeArray(String) constructor
 * 
 * In the current release of Jacob, SafeArray.java contains a constructor which
 * takes a string as a single argument. The documentation claims that this
 * method converts a string to a VT_UI1 array. Using this method as written
 * always causes a ComFailException, because it attempts to create a SafeArray
 * from Java chars, which are 16-bit unsigned integers (which would be VT_UI2).
