nt5rtm joining domain sends password of length 0xf0 uni-chars

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

nt5 sends a random password of 0xf0 UNICODE characters in length when
joining a domain (SamrSetUserInfo - opcode 0x3a, info level 0x18).  i'm
not sure if this is a problem, but it is fairly extreme, and i'd heard
somewhere that there was _supposed_ to be a limit of 128 [UNICODE] chars
on NT passwords?

anyway, for those people who are supporting NT5 wkstas joining to domains,
check your NT# / LM# generation code, make sure it can do _at least_
256-unicode-chars-length passwords.
