I have no idea what the following 4 digits ('0001') mean.
The second byte '01' is the sign. Can't think what the first byte is for 🙁
Paul, did you already (re-)open a connect item, or should I do that?
I think the issue is different enough to warrant a new item - I haven't started on it yet, but I intend to.
I'm not expecting too much from Microsoft though: 2005 is close to the end of its life, and the problem is already fixed in 2008.
Maybe they'll surprise me - they do seem to have been somewhat charitable recently.
