Re: Segmentation fault with latest git (070c57df)

In "clean.c" we have a "string_list" created on the stack with
"STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP" (there are probably others, I stopped at the
first occurrence).
But, "STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP" doesn't init the "list->cmp" pointer
which can thus be random.

I don't have much time to provide a patch right now (have to go to
work), but will tonight if still needed.

Antoine,
