Re: GNUstep BUFFER OVERFLOWS

[Richard Frith-Macdonald]

Perhap[s you could provide a stacktrace to show exactly where the problems are?

With a quick look at the code in gnustep-base, I couldn't find 
QueryInformationVolume.  Is this perhaps called indirectly somhow?

Similarly, I don't think the gnustep code queries this stuff directly ... could 
you please get a stack trace to show how it occurs.

Looking at this, the calls to accessd this key appear to use correctly sized 
buffers for the kmey handle ... but then that handle is used to access values 
from the registry.
Could it be one of  the calls to retrieve values which is generating the error, 
rather than the calls to get the key?
