Yeah, that's wrong. FormatMessage should use the return value from

I have many fixes and more code for this in my working copy. I was 
originally working in NTP
functionality but left it. I hadn't realised part of my code was in 
trunk. It must of got caught up
when we rearranged the tree layout.

I'll get back onto NTP soon and finish it off.
