Sorry, I'm not on IRC. So I don't know if you guys discuss things there.
And since no reply came on the mailing list, I thought that nothing
would be done.

As for the why this happens: please do the NULL check even if you can't
find out when exactly and under what circumstances it happens. Users
don't care why something crashes. I've reported this now the fourth
time, everytime with the same crash location and it never got fixed
because you guys couldn't find out *why* it crashed. I would be very
dissapointed if it still wouldn't get fixed for that reason.
