Woops, I got a write accessor wrong. Fixed and changed to be somewhat
cleaner defined.

Fortunately these NT 4 bugs are Win32 API bugs, not native NT API bugs.
I replaced the whole get_nt_object_attribute functionality by calls
to the native NtQuerySecurityObject function and tested on NT 4. File
access as well as registry access are both as quick as on my XP system
now, AFAICS.
Thanks for the report,
Corinna
