 While the developer should always explicitly check for null before
 dereferencing instead of relying on exceptions for flow control, a segfault
 is quite bad. I found this after some code was introduced in Banshee that
 did exactly that (rely on the exception), and I could no longer debug under
 gdb as Banshee would always segfault on startup.
