Already had the info in some of my own code, that pointed out the discrepancies
between Cygwin and Linux, and prompted the desired to level up.

Unfortunately, that was added later to make the got it/add it/skip it flag cross
checks in Linux order more certain vs my own sequential tabular source.

Need to ensure they are initialized each time thru the CPU loop, not just once
on entry, mainly because of what I found out about what I needed to do to get
the variable length REG_BINARY key.

Sorry missed the expected style in those places.
Will tweak and submit v2.
