Alloc_sd() fragile?

["Robert Collins" <robert dot collins at itdomain dot com dot au>]

I've been tracking down a failure in the daemon code...

The interesting bit is how alloc_sd appears to work ~ 50% of the time.
The other interesting bit is how CreateFile (used to open the pipe)
appears to set the same error number as the GetSecurityDescriptorOwner
and Group calls do. (Oh, the SD is passed into the daemon and used in
creating and opening the file mappings, so that NT enforces the SHM
security for us.)

Any ideas? (Is this a roberts-system-is-stuffed quirk, a
don't-do-x-it-causes-this quirk?)
