Dear all, the simplification of EXTENDS_TYPE_OF() did not handle the situation that one of its arguments were a CLASS variable that was improperly declared. NULL pointer dereference. The fix is obvious. Steve found a similar solution, which is why I added him as co-author. Regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Will commit to mainline as obvious within 24 hours unless there are loud objections. Thanks, Harald
