RE: No more /proc/registry with 1.3.19-1

Pavel, Dr. Zell,

I confirm these symptoms on my 1.3.19 install. Running "ls -l /proc" 
shows a "registry" sub-directory:

dr-xr-xr-x    9 Everyone Everyone        0 Jan 30 08:59 registry/

A short listing of /proc/registry does show its contents:

% ls -1 !$
ls -1 /proc/registry
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKEY_DYN_DATA
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_PERFOMANCE_DATA
HKEY_USERS

It also seems those entries can be "stat"-ed:

% ls -1F !$
ls -1F /proc/registry
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG/
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/
HKEY_DYN_DATA/
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/
HKEY_PERFOMANCE_DATA/
HKEY_USERS/

But mysteriously, "ls -l" fails:

% ls -l /proc/registry
ls: /proc/registry: No such file or directory

% type ls
ls is hashed (/usr/bin/ls)


And here's another interesting little glitch... In producing a cygcheck 
list to attach here, this occurred:

% cygcheck -s -v >"$DT/cygcheck-procRegistryProblem"
cygcheck: dump_sysinfo: GetVolumeInformation() failed: 87
cygcheck: dump_sysinfo: GetVolumeInformation() failed: 1

% echo "$DT"
/cygdrive/d/Documents and Settings/rschulz/Desktop


I didn't really look closely at the cygcheck output, but it appears 
mostly normal.
