I only had about 5 minutes to look if there was something obviously wrong,
and there is.  I don't know if it's the only problem, but it certainly
should be fixed:

On line 4277 of actions.c (in CVS), the variable "var" is free-ed.  6 lines
later, it's used in a printf.  Oops!  This would certainly explain the [???
: title] problem.  I'll have more time to look at it tomorrow.
