             Bug #: 13526
           Summary: LLVM::Triple code called by LLVMWriteBitcodeToFile

Core dump from the crash caused by the bug

I pass a valid LLVMModule* and a valid char* into LLVMWriteBitcodeToFile(), but
something inside LLVM::Triple::Triple() calls std::basic_string::basic_string,
which segfaults.

I've checked what happens if I vary the path fed into the function.  If I pass
an invalid path or one to which I don't have write permissions,
LLVMWriteBitcodeToFile() returns a failure code properly.  When it receives a
path it *can* open with write permissions, it creates/opens the named file to
dump bitcode, and then segfaults as described before actually writing anything.
 The file then sits empty.

Like I said, I've checked the validity of my inputs insofar as I can.  I'm
using code that worked previously to my upgrading it to LLVM 3.1 release, which
is how I feel secure in claiming my inputs are not the problem (also, I've been
printing them out to stderr, and they're normal).
