1.3.17(0.67/3/2): Bug With /proc/registry & / Interpretation...

[Ken Robson]

Hi Folks,

I have been using cygwin for some time and have recently being playing with
the /proc/registry facility.  I have discovered that when I do finds in this
namespace that if any key names have a "/" in then it is not quoted.  So for
example:

#########################################################
krobson@KROBSON
/proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{C4C4C4FC-0049-4E2B-98FB-9537F6CE516D
}/Instance
$ ls -la
ls: Decrypt/Tag: No such file or directory
ls: Encrypt/Tag: No such file or directory
total 0
dr-x------    3 krobson  None            0 Dec  5 20:31 .
dr-x------    1 krobson  None            0 Dec  5 20:31 ..
dr-x------    0 krobson  None            0 Dec  5 20:31 XDS Codec

krobson@KROBSON
/proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{C4C4C4FC-0049-4E2B-98FB-9537F6CE516D
}/Instance
$ ls
Decrypt/Tag  Encrypt/Tag  XDS Codec

krobson@KROBSON
/proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{C4C4C4FC-0049-4E2B-98FB-9537F6CE516D
}/Instance
$ cd Decrypt\/Tag
bash: cd: Decrypt/Tag: No such file or directory

krobson@KROBSON
/proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID/{C4C4C4FC-0049-4E2B-98FB-9537F6CE516D
}/Instance
$ find .
.
find: ./Decrypt/Tag: No such file or directory
find: ./Encrypt/Tag: No such file or directory
./XDS Codec
./XDS Codec/FriendlyName
./XDS Codec/CLSID
./XDS Codec/FilterData

When I check this key our in regedit I find that:

#########################################################

I apologise that I do not have sufficient knowledge of cygwin to fix this
myself.

Thanks for your time and help.

Kind regards,

Ken.
