Hi,

Recently, I found some wired symbol not found error in modules
generated by mingw. After examining the binary image, it seems that PE
would use short name even for symbol whose length is 8, therefore no
null character at the end. grub-pe2elf assume the name is
null-terminated, which could result in extra characters in the
symbols.
