[issue4722] _winreg.QueryValue fault while reading mangled registry values

[Brian Curtin]

On Windows 7, I see the issue as both a regular user and one with admin privileges. The patch (updated to fix tab/space difference) seems to do the trick. 
Gabriel, which OS are you on that this works differently based on the user privileges?

I'm still not sure how to test this...not sure how to modify the binary data and leave it blank via code.
