These two lines are your problem. You allocate only *one* string, but you
want to store many of them. You'ld need something like

	string ** rc_data = new (string*)[max_row];
	for (int i = 0; i< max_row; i++)
	   rc_data[i] = new string[max_col];

In a nutshell: you're not really using a 2D array of strings, like you
said you did. You're using a 1D array with exactly one string in it.
