           Summary: VB6.0 string compare gives wrong result
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.12.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: charles at diagnos.co.uk


Running a test program with the following code in it (compiled using Visual
Basic 6.0) gives different results on Windows XP and on Wine 0.9.12 running on
Debian (unstable):

  a$ = Chr$(1) + Chr$(2) + Chr$(0) + Chr$(3)
  If a$ = Chr$(1) + Chr$(2) + Chr$(0) + Chr$(4) Then MsgBox ("WOW1")

Under Windows XP, the correct result is given (ie no msgbox).
Under Wine, the msgbox pops up.

The program gets the correct length of the string (ie 4), and can read the
correct characters off, but thinks that the two strings match when compared. 

It only has this problem when the chr$(0) is in the string.  Does the string
compare function see the chr$(0) and think it's a null-terminated string?
