err:edit:EDIT_LockBuffer no buffer ... please report

Good day!

Okay, I reported it, attached is an unexpurgated --debugmsg +edit trace
of me trying to open the lcc-win/lccpub/bin/wedit.hlp file from
ftp://ftp.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de/pub/linux/bonnes/lcc-bin-alpha.tar.gz
with wine's builtin winhelp program.

Current cvs, no windows, no fat nor nt filesystems.  Kernel 2.4.10 with
devfs and devfsd.

[DllOverrides]
"*"            = "builtin, so, native"

I would be happy to make other traces, but probably this is easy to
duplicate.  Just to add insult to injury, I will attach a backtrace
of winhelp trying to work with terminal.hlp (from wfw 3.11, I think).
In case anyone is really short on things to debug.

Regards,

Lawson

Please let me know whether attached (untested) patch fixes it.

Changelog:
    Defer edit style correction until EDITSTATE is fully initialized.

Well, ... yes.  The err: goes away.  File and directory names still
disappear from the winhelp file dialog (?) as they did before, but
still, if you select the right empty space, the operation proceeds to a
satisfying crash.  If I thought that little err: was all that was wrong
with winhelp, that was silly of me.  I _think_ this is a good patch.

Lawson
