Yep - the reason is that NT Server 4.0 SP3 under these circumstances
insists on the label being ascii. Even if you set the "this packet
is unicode" bit it still treats the label as ascii.

This is a nasty problem -  it seems that Win95 insists on
UNICODE and ignores the "this is ascii" bit, and NT4.0 SP3
insists on ascii, and ignores the "this is unicode" bit.

Hmmmmmm. Client specific code maybe ? (Gag.....)
