if this was a copy and paste you might want to go through and change all
the strdup to str_dup and see if that helps looking over my code base
with olc i did not find a single instance of strdup but tons of str_dup.

a backtrace of the stack would be nice since it would show you the line
of YOUR code that initiated the crash and would one could concentrate on
that line and figure out what went wrong. just seeing that you called a
library routine wrong and ended up crashing in kernel space doesn't go
very far to pinpointing the problem.
p.s. in case you don't know how to view the stack of function calls in
GDB it's "bt", this will list out all the function calls and current
line position within the function when it jumped.
