Prevent heap corruption in CryptAcquireContext

Hi,
this is a resubmit of a simple patch I've sent yesterday, but which was not
applied to cvs. I would like to give some detail on it: There is a section of
code labeled "error:" at the end of CryptAcquireContext, which releases
occupied resources in the case of an error. Amongst others, the allocated
memory pointed to by "keyname" is released. However, in some cases keyname is
released twice, once in the normal code and once in the error cleanup code.
CRYPT_Free uses LocalFree, which returns "NULL" if the memory was
successfully released. And it does basically nothing if it is called with a
"NULL" pointer. This means that by executing "keyname =
(PSTR)CRYPT_Free(keyname)" the second call to CRYPT_Free does basically
nothing, which is better than corrupting the heap ;)
Greetings,
Michael
