When the first header field is disabled (i.e. when passing the -t
option), field_flush() is invoked with the `buffer` global variable
still zero'd.
However, in field_flush() we try to access buffer.cur->len
during variables initialization, thus leading to a SIGSEGV.
It's interesting to note that this bug appears only when the code
is compiled with -O0, because the compiler is smart
enough to immediately jump to the return statement if optimizations
are enabled and skip the faulty instruction.
