Bug in GetProfStringList()

[Dave English]

Using the GetProfStringList() function to read the key names and key
values of a non-unique key, while the listKeyNames returned is correct,
the listValues repeats the first key value for each non-unique name.
Because of this bug, the values cannot be read, making the function no
better than GetStringList with an empty key name string, which could
already read the key names.

Needless to say, this is using IS6.22 .

I use this function to read the [rename] section of wininit.ini .
During uninstallation file deletes of locked files are entered there as
NUL=file1, NUL=file2 etc..

I have reported this to InstallShield on the bugrpt form. I see that
the effect was noted here almost a year ago, in article

Presumably no one reported the bug then, never mind :-(
