Passing null variable "copy_rec" to function "memcpy", which dereferences it. (The dereference is assumed on the basis of the 'nonnull' parameter attribute.)

236        /* we must check data is consistent again after the copy */

This can happen only if rec_len == 0
This is bad, but normally can't happen.
However we should test for it and get out with an error if rec_len is smaller than the minimum record size or bigger than the max.
It should never happen, but should it happen (corrupt file ?) we should just bail out.
