was giving a BUFFER OVERFLOW result when quering for
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\Connections\ClassManagers value. A simple look

{BA126AD5-2166-11D1-B1D0-00805FC1270E} and {BA126ADD-2166-11D1-B1D0-00805FC1270E}) in a
single line, instead of in separate lines of this REG_MULTI_SZ value as it should be.
