Maybe someone forgot to check whether g_mem_chunk_alloc returned allocation failure?


(Just FYI the pcap listed by tcpdump:

  ^^^ segfaults here somewhere
15:41:15.122263  ip 54: b.example.com.smtp > a.example.com.1068: . ack 16 win 32120

and it simply isn't socks, maybe that's why the socks analyzer dies on it.)
