This seems to be a bug in Vista's WOW64, which apparently copies the
lpReserved2 datastructure not using the cbReserved2 size information,
but using the information given in the first DWORD within lpReserved2
- instead. Funny enough, 32 bit Vista doesn't care if zero[0] is 0 or a
- non-0 count value, while older versions of Windows might crash if
- zero[0] is set to a non-zero value, as observed at least on XP 64.

exec/spawn as well as fork write an appropriate value into zero[0] now,
depending on the wincap.needs_count_in_si_lpres2 flag. The value is
