I blame the bug on the fact that I've been working in PHP a lot more than I
have in C this week. :)

I think an escape sequence may be sufficient.  Using escape sequences to
represent a '.' in a netbios name is also cumbersome enough for a user that
they may think twice before using them, and there are already plenty of
reasons why it's good for periods to not be used.
