This is the point where using a binary registry gets ... as bad as it is under
Windows. What about handling errors better in the registry loading, and if
anything fails, skip the loading and fall back on reading the ascii files
(which we do anyway - if modification time differs) ?

I know, easy to say, not to do (the "<<" operator doesn't really allow good
error checking !).
