registry handle leak

XviD 1.2.2 leaks a registry handle every time a video is opened and closed
with VfW, under Windows XP and 2000. The leaking handle is for
HKCU\Software\GNU\XviD. It was discovered via Task Manager, and verified
using SysInternals Process Explorer. An identical leak occurs in XviD
version 1.1.0 so it's not new behavior. I created a simple VC++ test app
that demonstrates the leak, see enclosed link. The test app doesn't leak
when other codecs are used. A handle may seem minor but it adds up fast if
many videos are opened and closed in quick succession, e.g. in VJ software
(my case). Is this a known bug? And am I reporting it in the right place?

The test app is available here:
