    "The issue is under investigation, and additional information will be shared as soon as it becomes available,"

    But somehow they know it is only 15 character names that are a problem. Did they just try every possible length?

      How does a hostname length related bug like this get introduced? I'm not a Windows user, I've written exactly one .Net program. 15 characters sounds like a 16-character long buffer, ASCII-Nul terminated problem. 16 characters isn't that long.
