fdtget crashes with exit status 139. We confirmed the crash by
re-running it in a fresh debian unstable installation.

The attachment [1] contains a testcase (under ./crash) crashing the
program. It ensures that you can easily reproduce the bug. Additionally,
under ./crash_info/, we include more information about the crash such as
a core dump, the dmesg generated by the crash, and its output.

Hello,

I am still able to confirm segfaults on fdtput and fdtdump, but when I attempt to crash
fdtget, I get:
./crash.sh: line 13: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input
./crash.sh: line 13: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input
Error at '': FDT_ERR_BADPATH

with current unstable version 1.4.2-1

Regards,
