Bryan,

The BSTR for cli_SetName is statically allocated -- as part of the CLI's
(inverted) stack.  Don't even think about releasing it, but simply blast
in your new string.  The buffer is 64 characters long (including the 
leading length byte).

BTW, was there a problem with prior versions of ConMan with your CD program?
Since ConMan is just an I/O handler, it should be independent of anything
related to CLI structures.
