Applying blindly a cast is never a good practice.

Again, Coverity may say something that does not apply to the reality,
and sometimes it misses some spots. Here we should be looking at
query patterns which involve a memory leak. So I'd rather look at
that separately, and actually on a separate thread because that's not
a Windows-only code path. If you'd look at the rest of the regex
code, I suspect that there could a couple of ramifications which have
similar problems (I haven't looked at that myself).

advapi32.dll should be present in any modern Windows platform, so
logging an error is actually fine by me instead of a warning.
I have shaved from the patch the parts which are not completely
relevant to this thread, and committed a version addressing the most
obvious leaks after doing more tests, including the changes for
restricted_token.c as of 10a5252. Thanks.
