I did notice that doc when I was updating getclip and putclip.  I wondered why 
that conversion didn't seem to be happening in the testcases and whether that was 
a Windows change over time.  I had no answer.

What surprised me about the segfault was that GetClipboardData(CF_TEXT) was 
returning zero, the error indication, but a subsequent GetLastError() returned 
zero as well, so no specific error.
