OpenEventW() failed. Something to be worried about?

[infinity-909]

Hi,

in the course of debugging a program I stumbled upon several unsuccessful calls of function OpenEventW() referencing event Global\TermSrvReadyEvent in several processes.

Code: Select all

0033:Call KERNEL32.OpenEventW(00100000,00000000,4b227908 L"Global\\TermSrvReadyEvent") ret=4b2278e1
0033:Ret  KERNEL32.OpenEventW() retval=00000000 ret=4b2278e1

At the same time there are a couple of calls of function CreateEventW() referencing NULL scattered around in some processes.

Code: Select all

002f:Call KERNEL32.CreateEventW(00000000,00000001,00000000,00000000) ret=7e19e272
002f:Ret  KERNEL32.CreateEventW() retval=00000068 ret=7e19e272

Does CreateEventW(00000000,00000001,00000000,00000000) look common to you?

Is the assumption correct that CreateEventW(..., NULL) and OpenEventW(..., "Global\\TermSrvReadyEvent") mentioned above aren't related?

Should one be worried about those failing calls to OpenEventW()?
