Thanks for providing the SOFTWARE and SYSTEM hives. Firstly the
SOFTWARE hive has an unusually large 'nk' node, which required me to
increase one of the limits in hivex:

The SYSTEM hive was even more interesting:
$ hivexsh system
Welcome to hivexsh, the hivex interactive shell for examining
Windows Registry binary hive files.
Type: 'help' for help summary
'quit' to quit the shell
system\> ls

system\> cd ControlSet001\Services
system\ControlSet001\Services> cd Firstboot
hivexsh: cd: Argument list too long
This was the error seen in the conversion, and it turned out to be
caused by the hive containing a node which contains a French name,
encoded in UTF-8.
This is a bit more complicated to solve ..
