-      memset (ps, 0, sizeof(mbstate_t));
+      if (ps != NULL) memset (ps, 0, sizeof(mbstate_t));

That will fix the problem. But is it normal for "ps" to be null here ?
I could not determine that as I can't match my sources with the binary
verion I have.

Thanks for your quick reply!

Best regards, Phil.
