Reproduce code:
---------------
php -r 'var_dump(wddx_deserialize(file_get_contents("http://www.akbkhome.com/svn/hebehaven2/templates/backend/members_edit.html.rules.wddx")));

Expected result:
----------------
a nice printout

Actual result:
--------------
segfault

backtrace basically says att = 0x0

probably worth changing all the 
for (i=0;att[i];i++) 
to
for (i=0;att && att[i];i++) 

in that whole function.
