Thx ;)

We were using a non null terminated string with one of the structure
used in NspiQueryRows response. Instead we had while to use a
null-terminated string prefixed with size,offset,length on 32 bits.

ndrdump was displaying the packet correctly and didn't mention any
remaining bytes, It's only by looking at raw packets before and after
the packet got proxyfied that I noticed the difference.

Btw in the remote README file, the correct parameter for delegated
credential username is: dcerpc_remote:user


Regarding the dcerpc_remote behavior, I get another issue, but I'm not
sure yet where to fix. In generated ndr pull functions, I would expect
the following code to be executed:

if (ndr->flags & LIBNDR_FLAG_REF_ALLOC) {
	NDR_PULL_ALLOC(ndr, *r->out.RowSet);
}

When I dump the ndr flags value with gdb I get ndr->flags = 0.
Until now I've patched the generated ndr_exchange.c by hand and forced
the allocation. It fix the problem, but I'd rather find a solution which
avoid manipulating auto-generated code.
