OK, gdb lies about line numbers sometimes, and often you have to read
between the lines of what it's telling you. What we *can* trust, mostly,
is that g_hash_table_lookup_node()¹ called into some unknown function at
0x29e55d87.

Oh look, 0x29e55d87 is what's set as the hash function in your hash
table. And that's where we ended up when we crashed?

Would be interesting to know where this *is*, given that gdb doesn't
seem to have a clue. In Linux I'd ask you to 'cat /proc/$PID/maps' and
see which mmap region it lies within.

So how in hell did your hash_func get set to 0x29e55d87 <wtf> instead of
0x29fe16b7 <e2k_ascii_strcase_hash>?

(That isn't g_direct_hash(), is it?)

I'd put a breakpoint on read_config(), then step through until
immediately after the g_hash_table_new() call. Make sure the hash_func
and key_equal_func have been set to the correct values. If *not* then
dig deeper into g_hash_table_new() of course. But if they *are* OK, then
stick a hardware watchpoint on the hash_func and let it run.

If you get to the same crash, the actual hash table pointer is the same,
and the hash_func is *still* not what you set it to, call a priest.

It *could* be memory corruption; you could try running under valgrind
(make sure you set GSLICE=always-malloc or it gets horridly confused
with the gslice allocator).

¹ Or a static function that got inlined into g_hash_table_lookup_node()
  but that wasn't it in this case, so I'm mentioning it just for
  future reference.
