Forget what I said in my previous email. I was running the
GETBUTTONINFO the wrong way. I'm now using
    r = SendMessage(hToolbar, TB_GETBUTTONTEXT, 0, (LPARAM)NULL);
to get the button text length (not caring about the button text
itself). I found a number of things.

(1) WINE always returns -1 in this case, which is wrong. I'll provide
a patch for this
(2) All versions of windows totally ignore the iString field for
separators: valid or invalid, the resulting button text is always
empty (-1 length).

The behaviour of an invalid iString pointer for buttons seems to be
undefined instead, crashes on some versions on button insertion, in
some other on GETBUTTONTEXT, in other cases not at all.
