I followed it and it turns out that the function newSymbol() in
low_level.c is calling strlen() with a NULL pointer, and strlen() doesn't
like that very much so it goes down in flames.
I could patch it up with an if around it, but I'm not sure if it has been
fixed yet. Thanks for any suggestion. BTW, I'm using Sage++ v1.3.1

Diego,
yes, this is a bug,
no it has not been fixed yet (it will be soon, thanks to you). Putting an if
in newSymbol() is a good idea but I think some more changes might be necessary.
I'll send you a fix as soon as I have it ready. Thanks for reporting the bug,
