Re: strings chopped in half using COM objects

I just grabbed the very latest from CVS (which seems to have a label of 4.2.0-dev) and the problem appears to have been repaired. In the earlier problem version, the string to VT_BSTR code was changed to use SysAllocStringByteLen() and the length passed in was incorrect. This appears to have been fixed and VT_BSTR arguments to COMponents now appear to working as expected.
