Custom Shell Seg Faulting - c

Question

I'm trying to make a custom shell for a class assignment. The TLDR is... I don't really know what's wrong with it. From the debugging, it looks like there's an error in the loop() function, but I don't know why, or where the error exists.
What's happening is the application executes the command correctly. However, on the next loop for the next command input, it segfaults. I've tried to make sure all the variables are freed so I'm not writing attempting to write into memory that I can't. That's the major issue. The second (much more minor) issue is that I can't get piping to work. I'm also not sure why. I thought I re-wrote stdin/stdout correctly. (Yes, I know strtok id deprecated. I do plan on moving to "strtok_r")
Does anyone have guidance or suggestions on what I'm not doing correctly?
Cheers,
M

The segfault occurs in the for statement. The body of the for-loop has executed one time, then the loop-expression cur = cur->next is executed, but cur is NULL.
It's NULL because of some code in the body of the for-loop which frees all the cmd_segs in the linked list (I suspect that code is supposed to be after the for-loop rather than inside it).
int exec_cmd(struct cmd *command){
int status = 1;
struct cmd_seg* cur;
struct cmd_seg* pfree;
for(cur = command->root; cur != NULL; cur = cur -> next){
if(cur -> next){
...
}
cur = command -> root;
pfree = cur;
while(cur != NULL){
cur = cur -> next;
free(pfree);
pfree = cur;
}
}
...
}
The cond-expression cur != NULL doesn't catch this because it is executed after the init-expression and then after each loop-expression.
After I fixed this by moving the cmd_seg-freeing code to be after the for-loop, I looked at pipeline commands, but they all succeeded for me.
