Here, you need to type:

    bt

and press enter. That requests the backtrace that shows the function
calls leading up to the crash. Without that all we know is that it
crashed in strlen(), which isn't very useful since it was probably a
null pointer dereference caused by an argument passed to it from elsewhere.
