Without this patch the root_home fact fails on windows. This patch fixes the problem by only calling methods on the object returned by the `getent passwd root` command if the object evaluates to true. Because there is no root account on Windows the code block simply returns `nil` which makes the Facter fact undefined on Windows platforms. The root cause of the failure is that we always expected the command to succeed and return something useful, and it may not on all supported platforms.
