Hi,

When backtrace_vector_release is called with vec.size == 0, it releases the
memory pointed at by vec.base.

In case of the backtrace_vector_release in alloc.c, vec.base may then be set
to NULL, but this is not guaranteed.

Set vec.base set to NULL if vec.size == 0 to ensure we don't point to released
memory.

OK for trunk if bootstrap and reg-test on x86_64 succeeds?

Thanks,
- Tom

[libbacktrace] Don't point to released memory in backtrace_vector_release

2018-11-22  Tom de Vries  <tdevries@suse.de>

	* alloc.c (backtrace_vector_release): Set base to NULL if size == 0.
	* mmap.c (backtrace_vector_release): Same.
	* unittest.c (test1): Add check.
