Summary: [dde request ...] does not return binary data correctly.

Initial Comment:
For example:
    % set r [dde request NETSCAPE WWW_ListWindows { }]
    % string length $r
    1

WWW_ListWindows returns an array of dwords, indicating Netscape's window IDs.  Thus, $r should definitely be a multiple of 4.

To fix this in 8.4a2:
Change line 1066 of tclWinDde.c from
			returnObjPtr = Tcl_NewStringObj(dataString, -1);
to
			returnObjPtr = Tcl_NewStringObj(dataString, dataLength);
