For some reason, OLC_DESC(d)->description is NULL is the problem. Take
a look at what this value is in the above function. Their might be a
bigger, badder bug causing this, but if not, you can prevent
this from happening by changing the line:
> d->backstr = str_dup(OLC_DESC(d)->description);
to be :
d->backstr = str_dup(OLC_DESC(d)->description ? OLC_DESC(d)->description
: "(NULL)");

BTW, This was a great example for everyone of what to send to the list
(and how to send it) in order to get an answer to your question (IMHO)
