Confirmed.  The reason is that a datastructure on the NT level has
another size on 64 bit systems, and the WOW64 layer doesn't translate
the structure into the 32 bit format.  The function is unsupported, so
that makes sort of sense.  I'll create another solution using the
official function for to fetch that information.  Unfortunaltey it
doesn't exist on NT4, so I have to sp3cial case that(*)


Thanks for the report,
Corinna


(*) Is anybody here actually still using NT4?
