Yes, something like that, expect you don't need to set 'err' at all in 
this case. But now that I'm thinking more about it, server side should 
probably be fixed.

That's a good question. There's two ways to test it - connect to a 
server directly from test program and see what happens on NULL 
description (to make it work in wine you'll need to use W-call to a 
server as we do A->W conversion at client), indirectly - if you call 
ChangeServiceConfig2() with invalid handle and NULL description for info 
level 1.

In latter case I expect it to fail on invalid handle, and because handle 
validation is supposed to be done on server side only you will get your 
answer.

Another thing to test is to try and set description to NULL and then 
query it back with QueryServiceConfig2W() - it's possible that it's 
actually allowed to set it to NULL and 0 error value indicates just that.
