I would suggest testing with the current 0.5.x development tree. My
first guess would be that uclibc is returning NULL from malloc(0) call
on your target system. 0.4.8 has "data->tls_in = malloc(in_len)" in this
function whereas this has been changed to "data->tls_in = malloc(in_len
? in_len : 1)" in 0.5.x branch.
