Ma Lin, thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, it looks like this option fixes the problem. I can reproduce the crash at will with a .chm built without this option, and not at all with one that has it on.

If the .chm's directory is not writable, the .chw will be created, and later reused from, %APPDATA%\Microsoft\HTML Help.

Unfortunately, sphinx apparently has no facility for setting this option to Yes in the generated .hhp file, so it will have to be modified before compilation.
