Bug 358752

After installing kdenetwork-strigi-analyzers, the command "deepgrep" crashes immediately on invocation.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install strigi and kdenetwork-strigi-analyzers
2. deepgrep xyz .

Actual Results:  
Segmentation violation crash (with core dump if enabled).

Expected Results:  
No crash.

I couldn't find the appropriate version in the version field above, but these are the RPMs I have installed:
kdenetwork-strigi-analyzers-15.04.2-4.fc23.x86_64
strigi-0.7.8-11.fc23.x86_64

I initially filed a Fedora bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1302879) but got the advice to do this upstreams report.

See below for the backtrace of the crash.  I tried to understand what is wrong, but ended up in a "how could this possibly have worked" situation instead.  

In StreamAnalyzerPrivate::analyze (in the strigi code) a loop is executed as long as "input" is 0 or one other case.  So here clearly input==0 is expected.  Then connectInputStream(input) is called on the iterated object, in this case a TorrentThroughAnalyzer.

In TorrentThroughAnalyzer.connectInputStream() a ByteStream object is created from the (possibly 0) "input".  ByteStream initializes its "m_input" member directly from the argument.  Then the prefix ++ operator is called on that new stream.

ByteStream::operator++() calls refillBuffer if the "m_buffer" element is zero, which it will be since it was just initialized to zero on stream creation.

And in ByteStream::refillBuffer() the member function read() of "m_input" is called.  As "m_input" is still zero, I can't see how this ever could have worked.  C++ can do many strange things under the hood, and I've been fooled before.  But surely, a call of a virtual member function requires a valid object pointer, doesn't it?
