I'm back from my honeymoon (!) and I've just been catching up on this
thread. Are you still seeing the segfault Igor? If so I'll try to track
it down if I have any spare time.

As you can probably tell I never tested the HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA key.
Increasing the buffer size in increments is of course boilerplate code
but I managed to cod it up regardless. Sigh.
