Hi Andreas,

Did you get a chance to look at this? It seems to me that the quick and
dirty solution is to wrap the index->iSetxxx calls in an 'if (index)',
however I'm not entirely convinced that is safe given that it's possible
to return a null index pointer to the caller (which without significant
trawling through code I may not find all instances of).

Regards, Dave.
