Ok, so the current log item points to a log item that has
null pointers (i.e. not on the list).

And that's trying to dereference a pointer from an item that is not
on the list....

So there's linked list corruption occurring here.

How far back can you reproduce it? If it's a recent occurrence, can
you bisect it?
