I found this in the logfile:

The error stems from the call of cib_process_diff in lib/cib/cib_ops.c.
Some calls of cib_process_diff with NULL for argument req:

./cib/cibmon.c:234:        rc = cib_process_diff(op, cib_force_diff, NULL, NULL, diff, cib_last, &cib_copy, NULL);
./cib/messages.c:261:    rc = cib_process_diff(op, options, section, req, input, existing_cib, result_cib, answer);
./lib/cib/cib_utils.c:755:        rc = cib_process_diff(NULL, cib_none, NULL, NULL, diff, input, output, NULL);
./lib/cib/cib_ops.c:544:cib_process_diff(const char *op, int options, const char *section, xmlNode * req, xmlNode * input,
./lib/cib/cib_file.c:233:    {CIB_OP_APPLY_DIFF, FALSE, cib_process_diff},

This patch and another one is available in https://github.com/beekhof/pacemaker/pulls.
