The Microsoft folks phoned me back today on this and it turns out to be
a SDK documentation rather than kernel bug. The call is documented to
return a BOOL (= int) but it actually returns a BOOLEAN (= unsigned
char) so this explains why we see the problem on 64-bit. I'll get the
fix into the next build.
