CLD crash mystery

[Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com>]

With the last fixes to the timer code, CLD does not crash often anymore,
but it still does, and it's still related to timers.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000 in ?? ()
(gdb) where
#0  0x00000000 in ?? ()
#1  0x080511be in timers_run () at util.c:207
#2  0x0804edfa in main (argc=3, argv=0xbff95a14) at server.c:1040

Crash occurs when NULL callback is invoked here:

	tmp = exec_list;
	while (tmp) {
		timer = tmp->data;
		tmp = tmp->next;
		timer->fired = true;
		timer->cb(timer);	<===== crash
	}

This happens because the struct timer *timer is zero-filled, although
the GList does not seem to be corrupt in any way:

(gdb) display timer
5: timer = (struct timer *) 0x98e21c0
(gdb) display *timer
2: *timer = {fired = true, on_list = false, cb = 0, userdata = 0x0, 
  expires = 0, name = '\0' <repeats 31 times>}
(gdb) display exec_list
1: exec_list = (GList *) 0x9922750
(gdb) display * (GList *) 0x9922750
3: * (GList *) 0x9922750 = {data = 0x98e21c0, next = 0x0, prev = 0x0}
(gdb) 

The main list looks perfectly OK too:

(gdb) display timer_list
6: timer_list = (GList *) 0x99224d0
(gdb) display * (GList *) 0x99224d0
7: * (GList *) 0x99224d0 = {data = 0x98806f4, next = 0x9922780, prev = 0x0}
(gdb) display * (GList *) 0x9922780
8: * (GList *) 0x9922780 = {data = 0x990229c, next = 0x9922550, prev = 0x99224d0}
(gdb) display * (GList *) 0x9922550
9: * (GList *) 0x9922550 = {data = 0x8054bd8, next = 0x0, prev = 0x9922780}
(gdb) display * (struct timer *) 0x98806f4
10: * (struct timer *) 0x98806f4 = {fired = false, on_list = true, 
  cb = 0x8050620 <session_timeout>, userdata = 0x9880678, 
  expires = 1258047830, name = "session-timeout", '\0' <repeats 16 times>}
(gdb) display * (struct timer *) 0x990229c
11: * (struct timer *) 0x990229c = {fired = false, on_list = true, 
  cb = 0x8050620 <session_timeout>, userdata = 0x9902220, 
  expires = 1258047835, name = "session-timeout", '\0' <repeats 16 times>}
(gdb) display * (struct timer *) 0x8054bd8
12: * (struct timer *) 0x8054bd8 = {fired = false, on_list = true, 
  cb = 0x804d970 <cldb_checkpoint>, userdata = 0x0,
  expires = 1258047951, name = "db4-checkpoint", '\0' <repeats 17 times>}
(gdb) 
(gdb) display now
13: now = 1258047814

I just don't see what may trip this. A mystery!
