Just thinking outloud here, but, is it possible that you got more characters than 256? I would change the line
strData = SPACE(256) to strData = SPACE(bytesTotal) and see what happens
[Update]Oh, looking at the code in the Wiki, it's author not only uses the above, but also calls GetData like this This.GetData(@lcBuffer, , tnByteCount )
