chmsee: segfaults with some files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

From: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=512713

Package: chmsee
Version: 1.0.1-1+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hello,

I just installed chmsee and it seems it either crashes on start on an
index file, when given a particular .chm file as a parameter, or fails
to open the .chm file, later crashing.

(I have just tested with the newer 1.0.3-1 package and it crashes, too
for _index.chm.)

Unfortunately, I am unsure if is legal for me to provide the sample CHM
file since is part of the Nokia SDK for S60 3rd edition Feature Pack 1
devices and that SDK is downladable through a "make account, click
through" procedure.

Here is the segfault on start:

0 eddy@heidi ~/opt/symbian-sdks/s60_31/series60doc $ chmsee _index.chm

Segmentation fault

Also, I have seen that if I provide a .chw file to chmsee and then try
to open a valid file, chmsee would crash.
