A fix will be forthcoming.

Meanwhile, I ran into a permissions problem with emacs dired mode.
At the top-level:

$ ls -l /proc/registry
total 0
dr-xr--r--  1632 Administ ????????        0 Jul 25  1996 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
dr-xr--r--    2 Administ ????????        0 Oct 10  1996 HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
dr-x------    8 Administ ????????        0 Dec  5  2001 HKEY_CURRENT_USER
dr-xr-xr-x    1 0        0               0 Mar 25 15:53 HKEY_DYN_DATA
dr-xr-xr--    5 Administ system          0 Mar 24 10:31 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Are those permissions correct?  They are same as /proc/registry without
my patch, so in that sense they are correct, but emacs refuses to
go into the directories, I assume because of the mode bits.  Interestingly,
though, I am allowed to "cd" into the directories under a shell.  I am logged
in as a member of the Administrators group, if that matters.
