Hey all,

RMC> Just tried it.
RMC> Got the 500 server error in the logs with a size of 30K. No noticeable CPU increase, but got the "Not enough 
storage is available to complete this operation." in the log.
RMC> Also tried 65535 and NO record found in logs whatsoever.

I would expect several bugs similar to this all over the NT/2k/XP
operating system ... the system-internal RtlInitAnsiString stores
the length of the string as a 16-bit value (see disassembly),
therefore sending any string > 65535 into RtlInitAnsiString will
make the reported string size & the actual string size differ.
