This fixes a SIGSEGV on line 518. The line, len, and term variables were clearly uninitialized; they looked like stack addresses. Reading the code for g_io_channel_read_line clearly shows that it can return an error status without touching its output parameters. Unfortunately, I don't know the state of the file system at the time of the crash, so I can't reproduce this.
