I made some fixes which will be in 9.8m,
and uploaded the current patch (and an installer) as "9.8l2"
to ftp://invisible-island.net/temp/

Using WinVile-wide-ole.exe 9.8l (9.8.12.0).  Unmodified, as downloaded.

When the attached file is opened and the mouse is used to "Select All" (right-click Select All picked from context menu) WinVile crashes with 'The instruction at "0x00476366" referenced memory at "0x0014d000". The memory could not be written.' 

If more specifics are needed, I can add them, or perform testing.  Given that the bug is, for me, reproducible every time the file is opened, I am assuming that more of a description is not needed.

The file attached is a zip'ed version of the .txt which is causing the crash.  Initially noticed this with a larger document.  I deleted lines until deleting more made it such that the crash does not happen.  For me, if any line is deleted, the crash does not occur.  Actually, given that the unzipped version is only 5kB and this appears to be Unicode related, I have uploaded both a zipped version and the unzipped version.  Probably no need for doing so, but given the size it should not hurt and might result in one going through while the other does not under some circumstances.
