Hm, even *I* could not reproduce that segfault.  The other time there
was an endless loop which I stopped with kill, and later there were only
"expected" errors.

I can check whether your fixes are enough to make my problems
disappear.  Is a checkout of
svn://svn.debian.org/debconf/trunk/src/debconf the right thing to work
with? 

Thanks so far,
Frank

P.S. any idea why this has never caused problems before?  At least the
DESTROY message should have been observed by someone?  Or do all
technically skilled persons use the readline or dialog frontends?
