There is a critical section leak in 32-bit version of advapi32.dll shipped
with Windows Vista. The following simple program generates an exception
when
run under Application Verifier with all checks enabled.

int main()
{
HMODULE module = ::LoadLibrary(L"advapi32.dll");
::FreeLibrary(module);
return 0;
}

This makes our application unconforming to Vista certification program
requirements. Can we expect this to be fixed in Vista SP1?
