[pubcookie-dev] Windows 2k3 3.3.0a registry problems

[PHILIP D JOCHIMSEN]

Well, I have managed to find another interesting dilemma: extra 
registry 
keys & entries, like below.

Actual directory structure:
/root
/root/protected
/root/protected/error
/root/protected/logout

Structure recorded in the registry:
/root
/root/protected
/root/protected/error
/root/protected/error/protected    **no actual config info**
/root/protected/error/protected/error    **no actual config info**
/root/protected/protected    **no actual config info**
/root/protected/protected/protected    **no actual config info**
/root/protected/logout
/root/protected/logout/logout    **no actual config info**

It certainly appears to be a corruption of logic when changing the 
appID 
of a directory that has already inheritied an App ID. The use for this 
is to designate different appID's for different parts of a completely 
pubcookie protected site.

I can duplicate the worst symptoms of this problem by changing 
something 
on the inheritied directory, hitting apply and then hitting ok. The 
extraneous registry entries do not appear until after ok has been hit. 
If I never hit apply, it works correctly. So...what does "apply" do 
that 
"ok" doesn't realize has already been done?

Has anyone else seen this before?
