Description
GDB reports this call stack and most importantly this being null:
<source lang="c">
Item::getReactionFireWeaponType(this=0x0)
Inventory::holdsReactionFireWeapon(this=0xe482c9a02c8 <cl+955336>)
HUD_UpdateButtons(le=<optimized out>)
Cvar_ExecuteChangeListener(cvar=0xe482ec54740)
Cvar_Set2(varName=0xe482c80be4b "mn_rweapon", value=0x7fbc98cb06f0 "weapons/stunrod/stunrod", force=0x0)
Cvar_Set(varName=0xe482c80be4b "mn_rweapon", value=0xe482c83157e "%s")
CL_ActorCvars(chr=0xe482fc4cb50)
CL_UpdateCharacterValues(chr=0xe482fc4cb50)
CL_ActorSelect(le=0xe482c99fff0 <cl+954608>)
CL_ActorSelectList(num=0x0)
</source>

the null deref happens in src/game/inv_shared.h:484:
<source lang="c++">
483 inline const objDef_t* def (void) const {
484 return _itemDef;
485 }
</source>
