Thanks to some debugging statements, I've tracked down the source of the /sbin/loader crash I was experiencing that was hurting Mazu's installation process.

Unfortunately, Kudzu does not return a null pointer in this case. Here is the official documentation (out of /usr/include/kudzu/kudzu.h) for what is actually returned:
A NULL pointer is returned in a few cases where probing fails, so checking for NULL here is entirely appropriate and correct. See the inner loop which iterates over the elements of the array
So, first of all, if someone can tell me how I can go about submitting a patch for the bug in cdinstall.c, I would appreciate knowing what to do.
In general, bug fixes can either be submitted as patches here or via bugzilla. The more complicated the change, the more helpful it is to send here for discussion.
