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

Didn't the bug report a real world app requiring that behaviour? I think the reactos regedit was working on windows but failing under wine due to this exact problem, if I recall correctly.
FWIW I don't really care, I was just looking through the bugs for reproducible ones I could have a stab at :-)
Anyone from reactos comment on this?

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