journal: Don't hold pointers to journal while remapping
Hi!
I was trying out the journal and the journalctl utility sometimes
crashed on me. After some debugging, I tracked it down to the fact
that next_with_matches() holds the "c" object pointer through the
journal_file_next_entry_for_data() call -- which apparently may re-map
the journal file, invalidating the pointer.
The attached patch fixes this crash for me, but being unfamiliar with
the code, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing.
This patch is also available from my github repository:
git://github.com/intgr/systemd.git

Regards,
Marti
For the record, here's the original stack trace at the time of remapping:

This would cause a segfault otherwise.
