Correct! Therefore I thought "c-ctype.h" should be included. But it does not change anything, same failure.

Since debugging does not seem to point me to the cause I am going to examine the programme flow. Context and unified diff are causing the crashes, so something in the print_context_header() branch of function calls must be faulty…
