I experience a segmentation fault when msgmerge runs a particular merge that appears to involve plural forms.  This is reproducible with 0.17 and git head.

It appears that there is an obvious typo in the code.  I have attached a patch.  I have also attached a test case (unpack and runme.sh) in case you need convincing. ;-)

Originally reported to http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2009-04/msg00016.html , but it might have been lost in the noise.
