When you mentioned that you changed allocate() and it got rid of the bug, I
had a suspicion that under-allocated strings were the culprit - especially
after I went through the structures and didn't see any more that seemed
under-allocated.

I'll look at the invocations of allot, allocate, fetch and store, and make
sure they are all accounting for the extra byte.

I also need to make another pass through the structures. The structures from
the VB file don't take into account your suggested fix. That puts them in
doubt, so I'm also am going through the Win32 help file, checking for arrays
and other items which might not be accounted for in the VB API listing.

Thanks again!
