Description

We had a problem where a customer had a bad entry in their Windows Registry,
under "MIME\\Database
Charset". This caused Xerces to panic, which aborted
our program.

Seems to me that it would make more sense to ignore bad registry entries (or in
fact, any entry that causes an error from one of the Windows RegXXX functions.
