Are we hitting string differences because of MS-DOS  vs
Unix  issues?  The code may need some cleanup to convert
Unix type  (single) character to MS-DOS 
(double) charcters....  This might impact calculated lengths....  And maybe
the code is attempting to correct for this issue, and forgetting to extend
the string length, overwriting the terminating null character when the Unix
to DOS "fix" is applied....

The above is just a hunch.....

Another thought.....  Is the structure that is being read and/or written to
a file a packed structure?  If not, then the message length might not be
getting read and/or written correctly.....

Take care.....
