The DFS referral parsing code does a memchr() call to find the '\\' delimiter that separates the hostname in the referral UNC from the sharename. It then uses that value to set the length of the hostname via pointer subtraction. Instead of subtracting the start of the hostname however, it subtracts the start of the UNC, which causes the code to pass in a hostname length that is 2 bytes too long. Regression introduced in commit 1a4240f4.
