FreeBSD: Caught exception: "ui::ElementStringList::activate(...) called on an object in the wrong state"

[anonymous]

Compiled from the ports collection, rtorrent 0.6.7 terminates with the error above, when you press backspace and tab in case there is more than one file (e.g. a file named "a.torrent" and a file named "b.torrent") or directory in the directory you started from.

I had this problem when there were spaces in the torrent file. i just renamed the torrent file with no spaces, and it worked (or better yet, just insert by url, which i found out you can do later, makes it so much easier)

I'll look into this before the next release, though i'm unable to reproduce this behavior.

This is because m_window isn't initialized to NULL, it might work on some systems where malloc returns zeroed chunks of memory.

I really think those "test strings" should be removed too, or do they serve some obscure purpose?

That looks like the cause of the bug, I'll commit the fix shortly.
