I found that RegQueryValueEx(HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA,...) have more problems.
I can cause deadlocks in mutithreaded apllication during loading of dynamic DLL in
another thread, if loading DLL call inside DllMain function RegQueryValueEx(predefined
constant HKEY_xxx, ) - like microsoft ODBC library.
To solve this in RAND_WIN.C
a) don't use HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA - like on W2k or on all OS version in OpenSLL
0.9.7beta
b) access HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA using using RegOpenKey, RegQueryValueEx(handle),
RegCloseKey
(this does not lock global process critical section
_PredefinedHandleTableCriticalSection inside ADVAPI32.DLL)
But this may cause other problems, because first open of HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA is
loading all perfomance DLL installed in system to current process. I have problem with
this, because it take about 90 seconds delay (inside
RegQueryValueEx(HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA,...) during my service initialization after OS
start.
