I am not very familiar with the winedbg code and do not see any easy (ie, non-hackish) way to get the length of the string in order to properly allocate the name size. I could read back a "large buffer" and use the string resulting from that to determine how large of a name to allocate, but that seems slightly hackish. If you have a suggestion then I'm all ears.

in that case, it would be better to dynamically allocate the string (and
to create it by default at 5 bytes for the %04x value)
furthermore, you need to change the comment in debugger.h in
THREADNAME_INFO structure about the name's length, as it seems VC7
removed the restriction to 8 characters that existed in VC6
