[Bug 11806] New: regedit creates bogus hex:(1) value instead of empty ""

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11806

Summary: regedit creates bogus hex:(1) value instead of empty ""
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.56.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The attached .reg file causes regedit to create weird entries
"Key"=hex(1): for empty string fields
in .wine/{system,user}.reg instead of the regular "Key"="".

This regresssion appeared somewhere between 0.9.49 and .53.

Regedit displays a few characters of random garbage in the input field when
attempting to edit those keys. No error is seen. Clearing the input in the
regedit GUI causes .wine/*.reg to contain a normal "" value.

Applications complain about their registry settings when regedit
produced these weird values.
Some application's installers create such bogus entries, e.g. Crazy
Machines from Pepper Games.

Bogus: 0.9.53, 0.9.54, 0.9.56; ok: 0.9.48, 0.9.49
[Software\WineRegBug\FooBar] 1201951655
"Language"=dword:00000001
"Title"="Foo Bar"
"SaveDir"=""

The bogus entry appears as:   "SaveDir"=hex(1):
