actually p_this does not change to NULL, but p_module_bank changes to NULL.
So the call to vlc_list_find is done with a NULL value of p_module_bank :

return vlc_list_find ((vlc_object_t *)p_module_bank,
                                  i_type, FIND_CHILD);

Any idea how p_module_bank could change to NULL (I checked it was not NULL
before) ?


Thank you
