AFAI suspect, this happens as the init procedure hasn't reached a point where that data structure would be initialized (before shutting down, where it assumes that it has been). But then again, I just checked out hipl on my laptop and couldn't get a segfault (even though hip_xfrmapi_nl_ipsec is null when going into hip_delete_default_prefix_sp_pair()), so I'm not sure if my assumptions are right (I'm not that familiar with the hipl code).

This is a rare and only sort of a cosmetic problem anyway so I wouldn't encourage people to spend too much time on it. Unless there's something else with potentially more serious consequences that might not get de-inited properly if the init is cut short.
