after some check, I believe that the problem is in the code:

char * unescape_char(char *string, int c) {
    .....

    /* here, s can point to 0, however, after ++, the s might skip the 0 and continue reading "wild memory" */
    (p++) = (s++); 
    .....
}

Attached file will cause a heap overflow / invalid read error in make. This can be seen with address sanitizer or valgrind.

I'll attach Address Sanitizer output. This was found with american fuzzy lop.
