This crashes Emacs.

Observed Behavior
=================

  - Start Emacs
  - Choose "Preferences..." from the application menu ("Emacs").
  - (An "Emacs Preferences" Window opens)
  - Click the small purple question mark in the lower left-hand corner  
of the window.
  - (Emacs vanishes)

Expected Behavior
=================

I would expect clicking (?) to open documentation pertaining to the  
"Emacs Preferences" window. A good candidate would be the info file  
(emacs)Top:: > *Note Mac OS / GNUstep:: > Mac / GNUstep Customization.

I do not expect clicking (?) to kill emacs without warning.

Configuration
=============

- gcc --version | head -n 1
