Whenever you stumped, it's time to use the tools.  Not every bug can be 
solved by staring at the code and meditating.

I suggest to read section 12.2 of the FAQ first.  It will help you 
understand the crash message printed by the crashing program.  Then use 
SYMIFY to find out where does it crash.  Then look at the code at that 
place.  If you still cannot figure it out, run the program under a 
debugger and you will see what's wrong.
