--- snip ---

The lock code is generated from the machine id which is derived from the volume
serial of the first fixed drive found (usually 'C:'). You can test by yourself
by setting it to non-zero value or using Wine-Staging.

I will refine bug 17823 summary line to be more generic. It's already "staged"
and a collector.
