you are sending in a null string to the str_dup.
since you didnt post any code, i might recommend stepping through your
zedit.c:zedit_setup() and see where it calls str_dup, then step back
through the code from there(you might use some debugging statements, or
gdb if you know how to use it)
look for any place where new strings get assigned. then look for where
it might be null.

barring all that, we would need to see your actual code to determine
anything more.
