A better fix is:


-		if (!strncmp(database.format->params.label, "wpapsk", 6) &&
+		if (database.format->params.label &&
+		    !strncmp(database.format->params.label, "wpapsk", 6) &&


But that the segfault didn't occur without --rules indicates that
magnum's intended fix do adjust min. length for wpapsk to 8 doesn't
always work.
