  Hmmph.  Calling strlen on a NULL pointer.  D'oh!

void __stdcall
fhandler_dev_clipboard::read (void *ptr, size_t& len)
{
  HGLOBAL hglb;
  size_t ret;
  UINT formatlist[2];
  UINT format;
  if (eof)
    len = 0;
  else
    {
      formatlist[0] = cygnativeformat;
      formatlist[1] = current_codepage == ansi_cp ? CF_TEXT : CF_OEMTEXT;
      OpenClipboard (0);
      if ((format = GetPriorityClipboardFormat (formatlist, 2)) <= 0)
	{
	  CloseClipboard ();
#if 0
	  system_printf ("a non-accepted format! %d", format);
#endif
	  len = 0;
	}
      else
	{
	  hglb = GetClipboardData (format);
	  if (format == cygnativeformat)
	    {
	      unsigned char *buf = (unsigned char *) GlobalLock (hglb);
	      size_t buflen = (*(size_t *) buf);
	      ret = ((len > (buflen - pos)) ? (buflen - pos) : len);
	      memcpy (ptr, buf + sizeof (size_t)+ pos , ret);
	      pos += ret;
	      if (pos + len - ret >= buflen)
		eof = true;
	      GlobalUnlock (hglb);
	    }
	  else
	    {
	      LPSTR lpstr;
	      lpstr = (LPSTR) GlobalLock (hglb);

	      ret = ((len > (strlen (lpstr) - pos)) ? (strlen (lpstr) - pos)
		     : len);

  So, GetClipboardData is failing and returning NULL.


    cheers,
