Ah, but what if the 2 trailing B's are replaced by 2 Unicode chars that
together take up 4 bytes? ;)

If you can find a way to programmaticaly call the same code, this can be
leveraged by a trojan code.  Consider:  If there was a way to get a user to
click on a URL that resolved to a file share and fall into this code, this
