Since cd1d61c44f (make union merge an xdl merge favor, 2010-03-01), we pass NULL to ll_xdl_merge() for the "name" labels of the ancestor, ours and theirs buffers. We usually use these for annotating conflict markers left in a file. For a union merge, these shouldn't matter; the point of it is that we'd never leave conflict markers in the first place.
But there is one code path where we may dereference them: if the file contents appear to be binary, ll_binary_merge() will give up and pass them to warning() to generate a message for the user (that was true even when cd1d61c44f was written, though the warning was in ll_xdl_merge() back then).
That can result in a segfault, though on many systems (including glibc), the printf routines will helpfully just say "(null)" instead. We can extend our binary-union test in t6406 to check stderr, which catches the problem on all systems.
This also fixes a warning from "gcc -O3". Unlike lower optimization levels, it inlines enough to see that the NULL can make it to warning() and complains:
