I actually just tested this and no it does not return an error in that case
but simply
crashes on Windows XP SP2. As do apparantly many other service functions
that take such
a parameter.

MSDN is quite unclear here. On XP SP2 the function returns this size when
the buffer was
NULL or the input size was to small. Otherwise it seems to leave this
parameter alone!

Seems we should start to add some tests for service functions too. This
however would probably
require a dummy service that can be installed for testing and removed
afterwards. Are there any
administrator right limitations to installing services in Wine?
