I don't see how this could be anything but a GCC bug. Yes, buffer_display_table can return NULL, but every place that calls it makes sure the result is non-NULL before dereferencing it. Did I miss something?
Older versions of GCC sometimes "forget" obvious things like that, if they are spilled into memory or something (sorry, don't know the details).
Perhaps we should insist on something newer than GCC 5.3 before enabling warnings by default, as there is a point of diminishing returns here.
