clearly strdup()ing without checking if mp->features NULL is incorrect.
However, I'm not sure that we need to fail if mp->features is NULL.
instead, int the APPEND call, we could use the gcc ternary operator
extension
(mp->features)?: "0"
to use "0" if mp->features is NULL.
Also, have you seen this actually occur? Or is this just a theoretical
issue that you've found from reading the code. It seems like
setup_map() will always call select_features() before calling
assemble_map(), which should mean that mp->features will always be set
in this case. Perhaps I'm missing something here.
