Thank you, Andreas!

This solves the problem. Sure, this is documented, but a programmer
can not expect that behavior. And even worse, the function returns
a wrong plane instead of some error message. Shouldn't the function
have an assertion like assert(plane_is_valid()); ??

FYI: The other problem where the software only crashes when it is
started in valgrind is still there.
