In utils/nsurl.c the function nsurl__create_from_section() has a section dealing with non-redundant ports (starting line 973). lwc_intern_string() was being called with negative lengths and as it takes a size_t (unsigned) so is getting passed a very large length which causes a segfault. this is supposed to be protected by the flag setting on line 969 however the arithmetic is all *unsigned* so the condition never matches (gdb) p length - (colon - pegs->at + skip) $9 = 18446744073709551608 changing the check arithmetic to be a simple comparison against length prevents this issue and reduces the amount of computation required.

This document should help point you at various useful bits of information.
Building NetSurf
==================
Read the QUICK-START document in the Docs/ directory for instructions.
Creating a new port
=====================
Look at the existing front ends for example implementations. The framebuffer
front end is simplest and most self-contained. Also, you can contact the
developers for help:
