| The Debian version of pkgconfig crashes when I query a variable value which 
| does not exist in the package description.

| Attached is the .pc file I use. It crashed with 
| 
| *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x10028008 ***
| zsh: abort      pkg-config --variable=bla test_pkgconfig.pc

Which architecture is this?
