The patch fixes a crash when starting Lotus 1-2-3 release 97 (part of the
SmartSuite 97 package). I've attached the offending registry keys.

123 calls RegQueryValueEx for the binary values with lpData set to NULL and
lpcbData non-NULL. RegQueryValueEx is supposed to return the size of the buffer
needed to hold the data, but Wine is returning the size of its initial buffer
(0xeb IIRC, sizeof(buffer)-sizeof(KEY_VALUE_PARTIAL_INFORMATION)). This causes
a crash when 123 immediately calls the same function again with a real buffer
address, presumably because 123 didn't allocate enough storage space.
