From: Christophe CURIS <christophe.cu...@free.fr> As pointed by Coverity, it is possible to dereference the NULL pointer in the function 'browseForFile'. This should have been reported by the compiler ("possible use of uninitialised variable") but the assignation of a default value to the variable 'lPtr' hides this, but as the default value is not a good one then the code could crash. This patch removes the default value, so we may have some info from the compiler and handles the case smoothly.
It also fixes a potential memory leak pointed also by Coverity in the case where the string returned by WMGetFilePanelFileName would be a 0 length non-null string.
