Instead move this code: if (ctrl->handler == hdl) { /* By default each control starts in a cluster of its own. new_ref->ctrl is basically a cluster array with one element, so that's perfect to use as the cluster pointer. But only do this for the handler that owns the control. */ ctrl->cluster = &new_ref->ctrl; ctrl->ncontrols = 1; } to after the insert_in_hash label. That way the ctrl->cluster pointer is only updated if everything is OK. Nice catch, BTW! Regards, Hans
