Dear Maintainer,
I guess I found the issue here.
It looks like centengine is crashing with an unmodified
default configuration after 60 minutes running.
By changing "retention_update_interval" from 60 to 1 this could
be lowered to 1 minute.
Further it looks like having null pointers in "custom_variables"
member is not unusual.
But because 'dump::customvariables' receives the 'obj' by reference,
the compiler removes in an optimized build the null check,
I guess because it assumes that a reference has to be valid by definition.
Attached patch changes the argument by reference to a pointer.
A package build with that patch checks like expected for null and
leaves the function.
Upstream seems to have changed obj.custom_variables to a container type,
which might therefore not suffer from this problem anymore.
Kind regards,
Bernhard

Description: Change argument by reference to pointer to avoid crash
GCC seems to expect always valid references, therefore removes
in optimized builds null checks of references.
