[issue4722] _winreg.QueryValue fault while reading mangled registry values

Brian Curtin <curtin[at]acm.org> added the comment:

The attached patch will return "" in the case that Alex describes.
However, I haven't been able to reproduce his actions outside of
manually running the steps, so I don't have a test written for it.
Anyone know how to reproduce it from code?

I cannot reproduce this bug with the current 2.6.4 release - it is
either fixed or masked now.

Brian Curtin <curtin[at]acm.org> added the comment:

It happens to me on trunk with Windows XP. I also have access to Windows
Server 2003 where I can test this (haven't yet). Which version are you
running that you don't see this issue?

Gabriel Genellina <gagsl-py2[at]yahoo.com.ar> added the comment:

I've noticed this depends on the user privileges. When logged in as a
normal user, I get the internal error as originally reported. When
logged in as an administrator, there is no error and I get an empty
string.
