On Windows, printf() with arguments being NULL crashes. No idea why but
it does, mostly.
For example things like:
char *s = NULL;
g_message("This is a %s string.", s);
is likely to crash. And this is why Nick suggested to early eliminate
such cases. It's harmless on non-Windows systems where you just see a
"(null)" string instead. On Windows, you see the operating systems
crash dialog...
And fixing the warnings Nick mentioned is a very step to pretend such
cases.
