Yep, I can reproduce it quite easily. With extra debug symbols and
memory randomization it produces a bit clearer backtrace:


Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000008fd31b in getCompoundAffixFlagValue (Conf=0x2d053c8, s=0x7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f <error: Cannot access memory at address 0x7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f>) at spell.c:1126
1126		while (*flagcur)
(gdb) bt

...

That is, makeCompontFlags calls getCompoundAffixFlagValue with invalid
pointer 's', likely after it got already pfreed.

cheers
