The crash is caused by the wrong codepath being executed.  IHlink_fnNavigate
binds its target to an object and navigates to it.  Since we have an mshtml
implementation, the URLMoniker is bound as an HTMLDocument object.  This
HTMLDocument object is then navigated to, but the HTMLDocument has no client on
which to render (or something like that).  The null pointer causes a crash in
mshtml's OleObject_DoVerb.

Instead, IHlink_fnNavigate should be passing the URL off to ShellExecute.  This
requires the bind to fail, which it would if we didn't try to use mshtml.  The
solution to this problem, I think, is to have some sort of identifier in
IHlink, providing a way to determine whether the IHlink object was created by
mshtml (in which case we want to continue with the bind as we do currently) or
by an application (in which case we want to do whatever native does when a link
is being navigated to -- that is, use ShellExecute).

I've asked Jacek Caban to give his opinion.  Problem identified, solution
(hopefully) incoming.
