which state:

JE> Here's some tests which show the problem reported as bug 2686. I tried to
JE> find a way to fix it but its not simple. (Note I can only confirm that XP
JE> behaves as described).

AJ>On XP yes, but it will fail on Win9x, the API doesn't guarantee that
AJ>the returned size will be identical to the allocated size. Unless you
AJ>have a real app that depends on that I don't think there's much point
AJ>in doing that test.

JE> Didn't the bug report a real world app requiring that behaviour? I think 
the
JE> reactos regedit was working on windows but failing under wine due to this
JE> exact problem, if I recall correctly.

AJ> Well, yes, but that doesn't really qualify as a real world app, since
AJ> it can easily be fixed. It's similar to having a bug in one of our
AJ> Winelib apps, the right approach in that case is to fix the app not
AJ> add a workaround in Wine.
