You will break the code without the NULL.  The C function being used REQUIRES a 
NULL_terminator for both the 2nd and 3rd parameters.

You changed the size of the INTOBJTYPE field.  It must be 4-bytes because C is 
expecting 
an integer.  The C function sees your 2 bytes and whatever 2-bytes follow.  It 
then 
converts that 4-byte value into the 2-byte value expected by the MI instruction.

See my earlier response where I explain what I think the problem really is.
