 Looks like the pointer returned by sscanf is not valid:

32: bool tComponent::FromString(const char *s)
33: {
34:   unsigned int Stream, Type;
35:   int n = sscanf(s, "%X %02X %7s %a[^\n]", &Stream, &Type, language, 
&description); // 7 = MAXLANGCODE2 - 1
36:   if (n != 4 || isempty(description)) {
37:      free(description);
38:      description = NULL;
39:      }
40:   stream = Stream;
41:   type = Type;
42:   return n >= 3;
43: }

 What I would do:
- set description to NULL before the sscanf
- log all values returned by sscanf and compare it with the given string

 Maybe a problem/different behaviour in the uClibc?
