Description

[David Epstein]

build 2000-09-26-08-MN6. Win only.
1. Go to http://jimbob/trigger3.html
2. Enter http://jimbob/jars/f_winreg_createkey_err.xpi in URL field. createKey 
accepts a very long string representing a key and several nested subkeys.
3. Press Trigger. Then OK.
4. Check log file.
Result: Returns error -234 (source is file), in previous build returned 87 
(unidentified error).
Expected: Return error -236 (file name too long).
Note that the string is 271 chars long. If it's 270 or less, it creates the 
registry key.

The xpinstall script engine has been removed from the trunk, bugs in it are obsolete.
