The point of this complaint:

- gprs_sndcp_comp.c:67 implies that v42bis_params might be NULL
- on line 104 we call gprs_sndcp_dcomp_init()
- then this function (gprs_sndcp_dcomp.c near 88) dereferences
  comp_field->v42bis_params without checking for NULL (instead relies on
  comp_entity->algo == V42BIS)

I think I'd add an OSMO_ASSERT(comp_field->v42bis_params) in
gprs_sndcp_dcomp_init(). pmaier?
