Segfault when accessing `e1` and `e2` field of Msg

[dilawar]

Following snippet loads a kinekit model and prints sources and destinations of each message:

import pylab
import moose
import numpy as np

# Import all helper functions.
modelFile = './stargazin_synapse.g'
modelPathInMoose = 'model'
method = 'old_gssa'
modelId = moose.loadModel(modelFile, modelPathInMoose, method)
msgs =  moose.wildcardFind('/##[TYPE=OneToAllMsg]')

for m in msgs:
    try: print m.e1
    except: pass
    try: print m.e2
    except: pass

# This does not
for m in msgs:
    print m.e1, m.e2

Function Msg::getE1 in Msg.cpp cause seg-fault because data-member e1_ is a garbage value (sometimes NULL).

Probably Eref::data() is returning NULL

Seg-fault only on MsgType 'OneToAllMsg'. Msg 'OneToOne' are acting as expected.

Model file is attached. This bug/bahaviour is still valid. It is not critical for simulation. But can be critical when these fields are accessed for debugging purpose.
