If we're striving to get zero test failures then converting a crash to 
some failures isn't really much of an improvement.

The crash was in test code, and only happened for
me because I had done something stupid
(probably "wineserver -k" before wineprefixcreate's
server had flushed its registry cache).

Since that's the only situation I can think of this
crash would happen in, it's kind of a silly patch
all around, but it does have the virtue of trying
to give the confused developer a clue
(as in "you did something to screw up wineprefixcreate").
