I meant a race like this:
1. process 1 calls CRYPT_ImportSystemRootCertsToReg, creates a mutex and
starts to process system certs
2. process 2 calls CRYPT_ImportSystemRootCertsToReg, mutex exists so
reads certs from registry which is empty at this point
3. process 1 writes to registry

See [1] for an example how this may be handled.

Thanks,
Jacek
