A user points out that in commit 6143a50ed228fdf, when I converted all use of the registry to functions that return a newly allocated buffer instead of allocating a buffer themselves beforehand, I overlooked that one use of the old idiom was reusing the preallocated buffer as work space. I _hope_ nobody still needs this code - the 'old-style' host key cache format it handles was replaced in 2000. If anyone has a PuTTY host key cache entry that's survived 22 years without either having to be reinitialised on a new system or changed when the machine's host key was upgraded, they're doing better than I am! But if it's still here, it should still work, obviously. Replaced the reused buffer with a strbuf, which is more robust anyway.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
