DllStructGetData fails in compiled script with a name longer than 12/13 characters

[autoit@…]

The script below will work fine in AutoIT 3.3.0.0 as long as it is not compiled.
It requires two parameters given in the command line:

1. IP address of the DHCP server
2. IP address of the client to look for

It will query the DHCP server (at least 'DHCP User' permissions are required on the DHCP server) and return the name of the client that has the given IP address as a lease (the error might happen on other uses of DllStructGetData, but I've noticed it with this one).

Once it is compiled, the exe sometimes will end with an application error in the function "_DHCP_GetClientNameByIP":
$sClientName = DllStructGetData($tClientNameString, "ClientName")
but only if the name of the exe is

• 12 characters or longer on Server 2003 SP2
• 13 characters or longer on Windows XP SP3

If the file name is shorter, it seems to run without problems.
In some setups, it crashes "reliably" on some IP addresses, but works on others, in some it only crashes sometimes (while querying the same IP address).
In the case of the "reliable" crash, the crashes will stop as soon as the exe is renamed to something shorter than 12/13 characters.
The crashes happen on 3.2.12.1 as well, but I've only yet verified the solution on 3.3.0.0.

The function below is, for demonstration purposes, a stripped-down version of Alexander Melnichuk's _DHCP_GetClientInfo, found at

In case it's needed, MS information for the DHCP query:

Read WikiStart. Then re-write the code so that it's not a wall of text. Way too much code.

After correcting the script to have it working using my DCHPServerIP and my system IP
the

	$aRet = DllCall("Dhcpsapi.dll", "int", "DhcpGetClientInfo", _

never return under Vista/SP1

I entered my info, compiled the script and named it "SuperReallyLongNameAndStuff.exe". Works fine on Windows XP SP3. And I'm even more annoyed now having did that because the code, too long as it is, doesn't even run out of the box due to calls to functions that don't exist in the example. Just a poor example all around.

Anyway, as expected, NO BUG.
