I was waiting for someone to reply saying that because I see it
happening dozens of times in the list, but I guess it's better to
start sending a patch them never sending any.

At first I thought I would be hidding the problem too, but after
checking windows does the same (doesn't open anything because there's
no file) I thought it was fixed.

WINHELP_GetWindowInfo receives the parameter "glossary" as name and
hlpfile = NULL because the file was not found. So if the file was not
found there's nowhere to look for, and in this case there can't be any
fallback because it's a different file.
