Wine and Win98 leave the buffer intact (the contents and thus size differ however) WinXPProf and W2KProf clear (so it seems) the buffer.
That's why it's tested - MSDN is useful but not what we care about. You can guarantee if NT clears the buffer, somebody somewhere will have written an app which relies on it (or vice-versa).
OK. It's one thing to make the tests pass but another to have Wine act a certain way.
- If there are so many different results, how can one cater for that in the tests? Having a lot of different possible results for a test to pass looks a bit strange.
- Wine currently acts (with certain data) different than all the mentioned OS's. How do we cater in Wine for all the differences, or is win98 the default?
