--- Comment #1 from Marco Leise <Marco.Leise at gmx.de> ---
That recursion is really bad. :p

> 1. sysErrorString()'s argument should ONLY be values returned by Windows APIs like GetLastError(), and so this should always succeed.

It should, yes. And that's surely Microsofts stance as well. Yet they state
that 0 is returned on error, so if this was my code I would at least handle
that case and print some generic English message like "Failed to retrieve
WinAPI error message for code 0x123456" instead of an empty string.
