But in frame 3...

(gdb) f 3

(gdb) p cmdline
$4 = "/c\000and\000 up for the 10 Yen lapdances? o.o\000le decide to molest me\000s... =/\000angerous\000because of all the\000) Smiling he tells Hayaku to try.\000 gasped for air. His wounds began to heal around his chest and arm"...

Is cmdline suppose to be stored as that? :/

Just means that their command was /c, since the next character is \0, the null character.

In any case,

#0 0x080e720c in str_alloc (str=0x0) at hashstr.c:50

... you have a NULL string somewhere trying to be allocated :)

Yeah I realized that. This is uh, Cronel's new editor snippet for Smaug. Heard about this bug from someone today. Would a simple ifcheck suffice?
