You are assuming that the user name you got is a local user on this
machine, and never a domain user. That may be true for the computer
you're using, but it's not safe in the general case. In my case,
LookupAccountName('timr2-pc', 'timr') produces a very different result
from LookupAccountName('probo','timr').
BTW, I've tried your code on XP and on Win 7 64, and in both cases I get
the full string including the last set of digits.
