While we do not really need memcpy here, I think we should understand
the real problem you see.

Is there any problem? What exactly is not working? (explaining what 
you do in Mysqlquerybrowser is ok, I have it running here.)

Your patch would not handle a potential truncation if the "len" parameter is
changed, right?

Can you provide a testcase snippet for
dlls/oleaut32/tests/vartype.c::test_SysReAllocStringLen() that shows different
behaviour between real Windows and WINE?
