For functions which return a pointer, why not just check for a null
pointer? At the moment, returning a null pointer crashes the backend, but
it would seem to be fairly easy to fix since it sort-of handles null
returns as you found.
I was planning on looking at this someday, but am far away from getting to
it. It's all yours :)

I'd be interested in knowing more about Illustra's features. Since we are
starting with v6.3 testing and bug fixing, you might want to bring this up
again in ~3 weeks to get more of a response...
