In this case the fix is for a Null reference as indicated in the accompanying tests. The test prangs in the current build and the patch for pdh_main.c fixes the behaviour on XP. As I said, I can't tell if it fixes it in anything else. However, there needs to be a fix for the NULL reference and the case of needing a buffer if size and index > 0 seems to be reasonable behaviour.
Does the test set work on Win2003|win2K? Jeff
