This was fixed about a month ago upstream and is slated for 1.80. It hadn't been reported in Ubuntu yet. Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better! Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.

Question for the Ubuntu p2p packagers:

I'm a little confused about how best to submit bugfixes like this one for use in post-release 9.10. I understand there are many bigger fish to fry at this point and I'm happy to wait, but if possible I'd like to get some general advice on how the Transmission team should make these fixes available -- that is, which way is easiest for you to use.

One proposal has been a focused bugfix-only 1.76 addressing the tickets listed at http://transmission.pastebay.com/61186. The diff for this proposal is only about 300 lines long, http://transmission.pastebay.com/61200. Rolling a 1.76 release would be my preferred method, since it's easy to understand and easy for other distros and end users to grab.

If you'd prefer to do fixes a la carte, that's fine too. This ticket's fix is a very simple null pointer test before dereferencing the pointer, and the changeset can be found at <http://trac.transmissionbt.com/changeset/9143>
