Ouch... I believe you are writing that character into the system's memory...
not yours to write to.
A better method is to do a StrNCopy (into your own buffer) of bufLen
characters, then do the null termination as above to your own buffer space.
That way you can test to make sure that you are not overwriting memory.
StrNCopy will handle the case where those might be wide characters in some
future version.
