I don't understand this change. What about a zero-length string ("")?


The original checks for string->length but not if the string itself
was NULL. I've eliminated the original mistake that triggered this.

Oh yes, sorry. I didn't noticed that the original test checked the length
and not the pointer.

I'll investigate why the length was tested.

Have you an example/testcase where it crashed?

I was using it in earlier code, but I removed the call to show_string
I think (debugging).
