winProcSetSelectionOwner - OpenClipboard () failed: 00000000

0 is ERROR_SUCCESS which means "The operation completed successfully"
I guess the clipboard was opened successfully but returned a wrong
error condition. After bailing out we leave the clipboard in an open
state and other programs can not access it anymore.

I guess this is worth a try:

from winclipboardwrappers.c:461

  /* Access the Windows clipboard */
  if (!OpenClipboard (g_hwndClipboard))
    {
      DWORD errorcode = GetLastError();
      ErrorF ("winProcSetSelectionOwner - OpenClipboard () failed: %08x\n",
            (int) errorcode);
      if (errorcode != ERROR_SUCCESS)
        goto winProcSetSelectionOwner_Done;
    }

bye
