Summary: crash when "OK" clicked after creating indices

Initial Comment:
[moved here from the "feature requests" section, where
it was placed erroneously]

 bibletime 1.6.1, compiled from source today
sword 1.5.9, compiled from source
today: --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-lucene

I was in the bookshelf manager under "Manage search
indices". I added three indices: KJV, TR, and
StrongsGreek, I believe in that order. When I
clicked "OK" to exit the dialog window, bibletime
crashed. When I tried to backtrace, my computer froze
until I rebooted.

A bit later I created a StrongsHebrew index with no
problem.

Yet later (just ~ a minute ago) I created a Vulgate
index and then GreekHebrew, HebrewGreek, and Josephus
indices (two separate times clicking "create
indices") and this time bibletime crashed.
In the console I got:

*** BibleTime got signal 11 (Crashing). Trying to
save settings.
*** Saving seemed to be successful. If restoring does
not work on next startup please use the
option --ignore-session
KCrash: Application 'bibletime' crashing...

And the KDE crash handler backtrace is:
Using host libthread_db
library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

Apparently caused by libsword, in the file
src/modules/common/zstr.c, in
zStr::getCompressedText:
strcpy(*buf, cacheBlock->getEntry(entry));

Well, I've narrowed down the bug a bit, to somewhere in
sword's ciphered-text--handling 
system, or possibly in how bibletime uses that system.
When I removed the two "locked" modules, gerhfa2002
and gerhfalex2002, from 
my /usr/share/sword tree, the crashes don't seem to be
happening.
(Although I still get "Error reading ulBuffNum"
sometimes while creating indices, which I 
got before.)

zStr::getCompressedText calls
strcpy(*buf, cacheBlock->getEntry(entry));
the getEntry is in entriesblk.cpp, and it calls
getMetaEntry.
getEntry then returns: return (offset) ? block+offset :
empty;
The crashing occurs when offset is non-zero but
block+offset is
not a valid string pointer.
Hence, in the previous post:
#6 *__GI_strcpy (dest=0x0, src=0x12f75880 <Address 
 0x12f75880 out of bounds>)

0x12f75880 in this case was block+offset (confirmed by
printing
out the value of 
block+offset on another occasion).
