[Libguestfs] [PATCH] Increase HIVEX_MAX_VALUES

[Matt Coleman]

Hello,

As we discussed briefly on IRC about a month ago, HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices can contain greater than 55000 (HIVEX_MAX_VALUES) values if VMWare’s snapshot functionality is frequently used. This is due to an unintended interaction between Windows and VMWare’s snapshot functionality.

VMware has a knowledge base article regarding this issue, although it does not directly mention MountedDevices: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2006849

The attached patch increases HIVEX_MAX_VALUES in order to enable access to those hives with hivex.
