That's great!

We have made a lot of changes to those utility functions and now we have
methods which don't append that null char.

Excellent, Brian!

I'm looking forward your patch.
Npgsql source can be found at github.com/npgsql/Npgsql

If you need any help to understand Npgsql, please let me know.
Unfortunately as I'm not the original developer of the sspi code, I may not
be very helpful on this specific issue, but I can help you out regarding
other parts of Npgsql code.

It would be awesome if you could write a little guide about how to
configure PostgreSQL to work with sspi authentication from Windows.
I could add it to our Npgsql user manual...

Thank you all for having a look at those Npgsql authentication issues.
