     Hi the problem comes from line 695 in settings.c :

     And now I am lost again. No idea how to come further.
     
This function ( settings_get_output_routing ) has only one caller.  That is in
output/driver.c: (output_submit__) :

      if (settings_get_output_routing (type) & d->device_type)
        d->class->submit (d, item);

If you have removed the return statement, and the crash doesn't occur,
this could be for one of two reason:

1. The crash was due to the expression the_settings.output_routing[type] 
   causing a buffer overflow (unlikely, but possible; check the value of
   "type")

2. Your change has caused the if-condition to evaluate to false, and 
   therefore the line
      d->class->submit (d, item);
   (which is where the problem lies) is no longer being called.

We need to find out which of these reasons it is.  
What happens if you comment out the line 

      if (settings_get_output_routing (type) & d->device_type)
