Hi all,

could somebody please look after save_key() and RegSaveKeyA() ?
They are horribly broken right now.

You just need to create a dummy reg0000.tmp before Wine startup and
no registry will get saved at all !!

And I also experienced small "default" registry files instead of the full
registry data I used to have (fortunately I have backups !).
So somehow the registry saving seems to forget the old registry content.
That happened to me several times, BTW.

Ove suggested that the existing code is "broken" as it has to protect
against race conditions when several Wines want to access the registry
at the same time.

But this surely can be coded in a much better way ??

(it's a pretty important area, so one should expect pretty flawless
operation under all circumstances, IMHO)
