I tested it with the Visual C++ debugger.
I took a look at the call stack and the position where it crashed. This was the result:
The chrash happens in function prefs_register_module_or_subtree() and seems to be created by this call:
p60_module = prefs_register_protocol(proto_p60, proto_reg_handoff_p60);
The whole register function looks like this:
void proto_register_p60(void){
module_t *p60_module;
if (proto_p60 == -1) {
proto_p60 = proto_register_protocol (
"P600", /* name */
"P600", /* short name */
"P600" /* abbrev */);
}
p60_module = prefs_register_protocol(proto_p60, proto_reg_handoff_p60);
}
It is exactly the same code as for the foo protocol, except for the replacements of foo by p60.
This is why I cannot understand what the problem might be.

Try to run it under a debugger and see where it crashes.
