You were crashing at:
switch(OLC_MODE(d)) {
So look at the above. d->olc = 0x0 (or NULL). Look at what the OLC_MODE
macro is #define'd to.
From there, you'll find that you need to be allocating some memory to the
olc structure, and free'ing it properly. Basically, you're trying to do
things before you've been prepared to do them.
-k.
