I could not tell from your original posting what the structure of
search_name was.  It should be packed (IM V2 refers somewhat
cryptically to "the form shown in figure 13 above") with each pascal
string immediately following the previous one.  If you use NBPSetEntity
you should get a valid entity name.

Still, I don't think that would cause a crash.  The rest of the code
looks ok to me.  I have LSC code at home that works, which I can send.

I am myself trying to write up some routines for a generic server, so
if anyone else has done this or has sample code perhaps they can post 
it.
