regtool gives different results than reg


My system is a 64-bit Windows 7 system with the latest cygwin installed
and Corinna's unsupported cyglsa64.dll from 29 Jan 2010.  And for this bug
I have the 64-bit version of Python 2.6.4 installed (not cygwin's) and I'm
doing these tests on the console, not ssh (but the same bug appears when
ssh'd in).

So in the cygwin shell:

        $ regtool get /machine/SOFTWARE/Python/PythonCore/2.6/InstallPath
        Error (2): The system cannot find the file specified.

        $ regtool list /machine/SOFTWARE/Python/PythonCore/2.6
        Modules

$ reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\2.6"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6\Modules

But if I run a cmd.exe shell directly (not from a cygwin shell), I get
everything I expect:

>reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6

        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6\Help
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6\InstallPath
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6\Modules
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.6\PythonPath

Any ideas as to how I could workaround this bug?
