Cannot access memory at address 0x8

Hi All
I have a structure pointer and setting that pointer as NULL. When i tried to access the elements in the structure i am getting the error message.
"Cannot access memory at address 0x8". This i tried in LINUX.
When the same program is tried thro UNIX (HP-UX), i am not getting the message instead the null value "\0" is printed.

Can any of you tell me why it is so and if possible what is the necessary action that needs to be taken in LInux to avoid that error message.
I have the following program



Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
struct IMS
{
char *ptr;
int j;
};
typedef struct IMS IMS_FILE;

int main()
{
IMS_FILE *ims_fp;
ims_fp=(struct IMS *)malloc(sizeof(struct IMS));
free(ims_fp);
ims_fp=NULL;
IMS_feof(ims_fp);
}
int IMS_feof( register IMS_FILE *ims_fp)
{
        printf("HAI\n");
}

NAME
msgb, mblk - STREAMS message block structure SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/stream.h> INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI) DESCRIPTION
A STREAMS message is made up of one or more message blocks, referenced by a pointer to a msgb structure. The b_next and b_prev pointers are used to link messages together on a QUEUE. The b_cont pointer links message blocks together when a message consists of more than one block. Each msgb structure also includes a pointer to a datab(9S) structure, the data block (which contains pointers to the actual data of the message), and the type of the message. STRUCTURE MEMBERS
struct msgb *b_next; /* next message on queue */ struct msgb *b_prev; /* previous message on queue */ struct msgb *b_cont; /* next message block */ unsigned char *b_rptr; /* 1st unread data byte of buffer */ unsigned char *b_wptr; /* 1st unwritten data byte of buffer */ struct datab *b_datap; /* pointer to data block */ unsigned char b_band; /* message priority */ unsigned short b_flag; /* used by stream head */ Valid flags are as follows: MSGMARK Last byte of message is marked. MSGDELIM Message is delimited. The msgb structure is defined as type mblk_t. SEE ALSO
