I was able to duplicate the error with VB6 with SP5 applied, but with SP6 
runtime files on Windows XP+SP2. I haven't applied any OS updates for a long 
time. Here is the code I used:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim Data() As Byte
    Dim Result As String

    Data = ""
    Debug.Print LBound(Data), UBound(Data)
    Result = StrConv(Data, vbUnicode)

End Sub

Output:

 0            -1

If you use it in many places, you can write your own DoStrConv() function 
that takes care of that special case.
