Windows XP Professional, in a network with roaming profiles
served by Samba.  I don't know what is relevant.

OK, sending you off-list.

Well, test_PropCopyMore() has four direct references IIRC.
You may or may not want to "fix" it (like the IMPORTS).  The
long for loop in test_ScCountProps(void) is probably an
overkill, too: if it happens to produce output in every
iteration, it gets too big.  Currently there is a 1 MB limit
on the report submission to test.winehq.org.
