conf_reload_path() calls nih_file_read(). Although the return value of
that call is checked, the code is wrong. It looks likely that this bug
crept in since, unfortunately, the documentation for nih_file_read() is
incorrect. It states:
Returns: newly allocated string or NULL if insufficient memory.
... whereas it *should* state:
Returns: newly allocated string or NULL on raised error.
As such, if the call to nih_file_read() fails, the error object should
be destroyed before continuing to avoid the crash seen above.
