Never have used resources in this way, but my personal guess would be 
that the resource is not correctly NULL terminated (no clue if it's 
supposed to be).

Have you checked the length with:
  DWORD SizeofResource(HMODULE hModule, HRSRC hResInfo);
  Returns the size, in bytes, of the specified resource.
