stdout/stderr from application run that crashed

This is a regression in a downloadable application.  I'm sorry, but I cannot
afford the hours of time it takes to run a regression test to pinpoint the
commit that introduced the problem.  (I am working on building a new computer
that should be much faster, so maybe in a few months...)

This may be related to bug #23416, in which the help window contents pane was
mostly if not entirely blank.  In subsequent comments, some later versions than
1.2-rc4 brought back display of some text, but other problems remained. 
Comment #17 to bug #23416 indicated a need for "overhauling how urlmon does
CreateURLMoniker or ..."

The symptoms are similar to bug #17227, introduced in 1.1.12 and fixed in
1.1.28.

The crash is very reproducible.  For a simplified, repeatable test sequence, I
installed PAF5 into a fresh prefix area.  I used the PAF5AllLangs.exe
installer.  I selected English as the installation language.  I selected to
install the "International Unicode Font".  I deselected viewing the 'getting
started document'.  Installation finished with no apparent problem.

When running the application, I chose to create a new file of name z9, z8, z7,
or etc.  I clicked on 'cancel' on the two dialogs that followed.  I clicked on
the yellow question mark in the menu bar to bring up the help viewer.  In the
left-hand pane of the help window, I clicked on the first four chapter titles
in turn.  When I clicked on the fourth one, a dialog appeared that said Wine
had detected a problem and needed to close.  I clicked the 'close' button.
