Bug#948858: rtorrent: Segfaults with "session.save = yes"

Severity: important

Hi!

I got very confused when restarting rtorrent after the latest
upgrade, it just started crashing. The relevant part in the config
was something like this:

  session.path.set = ~/.state/rtorrent/
  session.save = yes

The last entry makes it segfault. I've just removed it now. If the
option or its arguments are not correct it should error out properly,
instead of segfaulting w/o any indication of what was wrong. :)

(I initially thought the session files had been damaged or similar.)

Thanks,
Guillem
