Erh, got there, finally.

Here is one observation, and a total lack of explanation: In function
from_disc(...dateattribute), variable "temp", to be used as a
pointer to the result value, is assigned a pointer to a
newly allocated dateattribute. On my computer, this pointer isn't
quite as I would have expected. In GDB, I get STORAGE_ERROR each time
I try to print a field of the object (temp has an address), even
though the contents at the address seem plausible by what (gdb) x/60c
is showing me... It takes a few seconds until gdb dumps core after
a seg fault in this case.

(A temperature drop of some 15°C rel to yesterday is probably not be
the only thing that is affecting me, so I'll stop being confused for
today.)
