Summary: win32pdh.EnumObjectItems white lie

Initial Comment:
win32pdh.EnumObjectItems appears to lie sometimes.

If EnumObjectItems is called from the "main" thread - no problem appears.

However if EnumObjectItems is called from another thread, it may lie as to the existence of a process name.

How to reproduce:
  start attached script (xxx.py). Use the menu option of: g.
  This will print a current list of processes.

  Now start another application of some kind, different than any process name that was in the above list. For instance, notepad or some other editor.

  Now hit g again. The process name will NOT appear.
  Now hit x. start xxx.py again.
  Now hit g. The process name will now appear... 

Am I missing something here?

Note g uses a thread, f uses main context.

I have this problem on win2K and win2K3.
I'm currently using Python 2.4b1
and win32 package= pywin32-203.win32-py2.4.exe

Thanks.

I'm afraid I don't know, but I am fairly confident that any such problems
would not be with the python bindings, but would be a "feature" of the PDH
api itself.  I'm afraid there is not much I can do until it can be
demonstrated the problem is in pywin32.
