Hi,

in your previous mail, you wrote that the segfault is caused by calls
to g_free() with an uninitialized checktext variable. Without looking
at the code, wouldn't just initializing cleartext with NULL be a much
smaller fix? I assume that g_free() behaves like free() here ("If ptr
is NULL, no operation is performed"), at least it does so according to
the glib documentation: "If mem is NULL it simply returns".
