Yeah, I realized that, and the compiler should optimize it away
completely. I put it explicitly as a test in the source just for safety
so that if in the future somebody changes the definition of NT_MAX_PATH
or len for some reason and forgets to touch this part that things work
correctly without any overflows.

No, but that's a good idea. I'll check that and if it doesn't have this
quirk I'll see about moving to do the bulk of the function with WCHARs.
