OK, so I started to wonder why e16 would segv every time I tried to open the 'About Enlightenment' to check the build date I was actually running...
Turns out that sometimes, the 'sound' resource isn't set. And this eventually lead to a crash trying to strcpy from a null pointer down in SclassFind. I'm going to bet that a lot of people never see this because they get saved by the !Conf_sound.enable check just before.... (This patch *also* fixed a number of other mysterious crashes when e16 tried to put up a dialog box..)
