Comment (by mmanley):

 Replying to [comment:14 csalgau]:
 > Unless I misunderstand, the above described crash has nothing to do with
 the branch.
 > g_strsplit() creates a new array of null-terminated strings.
 > The patch proceeds to obtain a pointer to the first string, then frees
 the array.
 > There is no guarantee, and none should be provided, that after
 g_strfreev() returns the string is still usable. This could very well be
 the reason for the crash.

 Actually my early build that crashed was on [comment:9 Comment 9] patch
 included but the Length check was a smart addition.
