I just found another 10 Minutes to actually test the code (with the
added {0, NULL} stuff).
Please replace all FT_UINT_BYTES by FT_BYTES (you've misunderstood the
meaning of _UINT_ in that type. That will get you further (up to some
failed assertion "(guint)hfindex < gpa_hfinfo.len, which means, that
you reference a non-existent hf_ element).
