Hi,

I think there is a bug into Windows XP LFN API when requesting for file=20
with Unicode characters of code greater than 255 (those that are=20
replaced with '?' into a DOS box): it seems that Windows forget to put=20
the '\0' at end of name.
If you create a directory with two files in it: one having a name with a=20
non ASCII Unicode character (ex: =A4_euro_char) and another with a longer=
=20
name (a_longer_filename), when performing findfirst/findnext on this=20
directory you get "a_longer_filename" then "?_euro_charlename" (in case=20
file are found in this order, if not, do the findfirst/findnext twice to=20
see the problem).
A workaround is to reset the result area with '\0' before calling the=20
function as done into attached patch (be aware it is certainly not based=20
on latest sources).

Regards,

Damien
