Proposed patch
This is clearly a bug -- the uninitalised variable may happen to be freed.
The initialization itself should help. The if() tests are useles. After applying the patch I'm not able to reproduce the bug. The patch doesn't help if there are some lines correct and some corrupted. Created attachment 303486 [details]
Hopefully a better patch.
