Segmentation Fault During Scan

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Recently I was doing a scan and hit a seg fault. My C is pretty rusty, but if 
you give me any hints on how to debug I would be happy yo help. This error is 
repeatable. Note that a family member works for the bank being scanned.

Here is the output of the scan (colored output was disabled during compilation)

$ ./skipfish  -L  -Y  -r 4000 -o ./../output/skipfish_40 -V  -g 10 -M

[!] WARNING: Wordlist 'skipfish.wl' contained no valid entries.
Welcome to skipfish. Here are some useful tips:

1) To abort the scan at any time, press Ctrl-C. A partial report will be written
   to the specified location. To view a list of currently scanned URLs, you can
   press space at any time during the scan.

2) Watch the number requests per second shown on the main screen. If this figure
   drops below 100-200, the scan will likely take a very long time.

3) The scanner does not auto-limit the scope of the scan; on complex sites, you
   may need to specify locations to exclude, or limit brute-force steps.

4) There are several new releases of the scanner every month. If you run into
   trouble, check for a newer version first, let the author know next.

Sorry for the problem. Can you do the following:

1) Rebuild the tool with "make clean debug"

2) Enter "ulimit -c unlimited"

3) Run the tool again with an additional redirect to logfile.txt: "./skipfish 
[...previous options...] 2>logfile.txt"

4) When it crashes, send me the output of these two commands:

   gdb --batch -ex back ./skipfish core
   tail -50 logfile.txt

This should help diagnose the problem.

Thanks for looking into this. I attached the output of both commands in a text 
file.

Perfect, thanks. This turned out to be a minor NULL pointer issue with certain 
formats of JS/CSS. Problem fixed in 1.82, you can grab it now :-)
