I agree with IOhannes as this is definitely not a bug fix release any more. 
It's basically 0.51 and many of the help file updates also reflect that.

It seems that, in certain situations, CFStringGetCStringPtr returns NULL even 
if the string is valid:

<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9166291/converting-a-cfstringref-to-char>

I did not see that in my testing but it could be a different strings settings 
you are reading as compared to mine and/or slightly different behavior between 
OS versions.

I can look into this later tonight.
