Weird. I have no idea. The gdb output says "prev_reader=0x980d0c8", so this
can't be where the NULL pointer comes from. *prev_reader can't be the problem
either, because this value is checked.

Does strace still report that this crashes with a NULL pointer dereference? This
seems to be impossible, given that GDB says it is not a NULL pointer.

Also, looking through the changes since 1.11.1, I don't even see a commit that
touches this part of the code. Weird.

Sorry & cheers,
Uli
