Did queryRegistry break?

listRegistry still seems to work, though when I list
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\   SERIALCOMM is there. (seems like
it should be)

If I ignore serialcomm and try queryRegistry on one of the subkeys returned
by listRegistry, its still a no-go.  Does indeed look like its broken.
