If this cannot be reproduced on another architecture this means
something is wrong in the ia64 port.  If it is a NULL pointer
dereferencing as you said it should be obvious.  Looking at the code I
see there is a test for ef_free.  This must be the value of the
flavour byte if nothing was registered.  So you have a problem
elsewhere.  By trying to fix the symptoms you don't gain anything, you
should have learned this meanwhile.
