Aaaah...  Sorry, my mistake, I missed this declaration:
        static const WCHAR null[] = {0};
That solves that mystery.

In that case, one fix per patch, please.  This fix and the other are
unrelated:  one fixes a crash, the other deals with a missing #STRINGS
stream.  Thanks,

No, I think that crash is only possible with my patch. Right now if
there is no #STRINGS it closes chm and stops processing.

Apparently it is possible to have chm file without #STRINGS in it, so we should not stop processing file at it. Fixes bug #12498

Hmm, sorry, it is probably not a good idea to name a variable "null" - 
it is just a little confusing. Maybe W_Null or even Wchar_Null or
to make it more obvious that it is a programmer-defined variable?

I agree, but Tomasz didn't name this variable, it was already in the
code--that's how I missed it.  I don't think it's a problem in this
patch.
