I've fixed the crash:

 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=ccfeefae [^]

but have no time to add a test case covering the feature, let alone the crash case. Since the feature was added for 0006102 a lot more state has been added to the build tree that is not in the CMakeCache.txt to simply clearing it is not always sufficient anymore. IMO the feature needs a major overhaul or should be removed.

Test added here:

 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=e83e6a1c [^]

including coverage of the -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="" case.
