I encountered a crash when using PAF 5.2.
The following patch will fix the crash. MSDN documentation says "*lstrlen* assumes that /lpString/ is a null-terminated string, or NULL"
MSDN documentation says many things... most of them wrong. ;-) (only slightly exaggerated, given Wine's experience with MSDN "correctness" over the years)
IOW, I severely doubt that this is indeed the way Windows behaves, otherwise it'd have been fixed in Wine a long time ago already since apps would rely on and fully expect this behaviour of such a central and important function.
Most likely you encountered application misbehaviour (feeding a NULL parameter to a function expecting non-NULL) due to a different Wine bug which thus caused the app to mis-step. Would be interesting to figure out why this happened (e.g. via +relay trace).
