I did 'ncdu /proc/registry' and about two hours later, I found it like this,

I didn't cut / paste the box because it would just turn into a bunch of Ä and
such.
I did recreate it with - and | just to give you an idea of what it looked like.

This is a buffer overflow issue.
ncdu uses PATH_MAX as path buffer size but does not properly check for
overflow.
PATH_MAX is 4096 on Linux, but only 260 on Cygwin.
Pathnames from /proc/registry may be much longer.
(e.g. keys below HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses)
