SMB transacts and Unicode strings

[Richard Sharpe]

Hi,

I had a bug in Ethereal's SMB decode where I had forgot Unicode strings in
transact names, eg \PIPE\LANMAN.

It seems that if Unicode strings are in use, there is an extra two bytes of
\0\0 after the Unicode string (even after the \0\0 terminator).

Does anyone know what they are for?
