I don't get the reference.

That might be a acceptable temporary workaround.  The exec back end is
not likely to care about attributes, and as such will not dereference
the attribute pointer.  

But then again, attributes are intendend to be an open infrastrucure.
Perhaps there will be an attribute added sometime down the road that
exec will want to know about.  So I think it is very important to
follow up and fix the bug.
