Bug Description

On Win32 0.46-pre3 go to Help > Inkscape Manual. Program crashes with a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library dialog: Runtime Error! This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. [OK]. Clicking [OK] will bring up two more dialog boxes:
1. 'Inkscape Manual' working, please wait... [Cancel]
2. Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now. [Close]

This is very repeatable.

I see the same in trunk.

The message in the console is: "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Glib::SpawnError'"

This seems to happen in Script::execute (script.cpp) when calling Glib::spawn_async_with_pipes(). The try/catch pair doesn't catch anything as the program is terminated.

What might or might not be related.. When running Inkscape from within gdb opening "Help > Inkscape Manual" crashes already at Glib::file_open_tmp() in ScriptDocCache::ScriptDocCache (script.cpp). The message in the console is then: "warning: HEAP[inkscape.exe]: warning: Invalid Address specified to RtlFreeHeap"
