that this can lead to a crash of the backend in the function hashname(), located in hashfunc.c. It calls strlen() without checking the key pointer in line 126, which leads on my machine to a null pointer violation. Since i'm bloody new to the backend i don't really know if its worth to talk about, but i want you to know.....
Platform is MDK Linux 10.0 Community Edition, glibc 2.3.3
