It also says: "Under certain conditions, the
DefWindowProc function returns a value that is larger
than the actual length of the text. This occurs with
certain mixtures of ANSI and Unicode, and is due to
the system allowing for the possible existence of
double-byte character set (DBCS) characters within the
text. The return value, however, will always be at
least as large as the actual length of the text; you
can thus always use it to guide buffer allocation."

So, I assume that correct application *should* account
on such possibility, but I do not account that all
applications do ;-)
