In Wine 3.0 NtWaitForKeyedEvent() does not accept null handles

[lhmouse]

... in which case it fails with 0xc0000008 (STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE).

On Windows 7 if the handle is null, the global keyed event with the name \KernelObjects\CritSecOutOfMemoryEvent is used. Since this is not the case for Wine, a handle has to be opened explicitly at lease once per process. It must not be closed thereafter, unless as a result of process exit of course.

This is contingent on the opinion of Wine people on https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44620.

@lhmouse I also wrote this in the bug report, but thought it might be good to post it here too.

This seems to be fixed by: https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/a0050be13f77d364609306efb815ff8502e332ee

At least the testcase attached to that bug works now, could you test if it fixes this issue too?

@gverm Thank you I will keep an eye on this. I don't build Wine myself so I have to wait for an unstable development version available from winehq.

I can confirm this has been fixed on the following version:
