How can I remove the charity features in my Devcoin clone?

Question

I'm trying to produce a SHA256 altcoin which is merge mined with Bitcoin. I'd like to use some recent code, rather than base in on a 0.8.* or earlier codebase. I've found this source: https://github.com/sidhujag/bitcoin-0.9.2-Merge-Mining-fork

However, it's based on Devcoin, so it sends some of the mining proceeds to other parties. I'm finding it very difficult to extract this feature, while keeping the merged mining. For instance, in the miner.cpp file I've modified the CreateNewBlock function to remove the "Prepare to pay beneficiaries" section, but when I do so the compiled code segfaults.

Thanks to anyone who can help with this.

EDIT: I've run the node with GDB, this is the error and backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

int64_t nFees = 0;
int64_t minerValue = GetBlockValue(pindexPrev->nHeight+1, nFees);
int64_t sharePerAddress = 0;
if (coinAddressStrings.size() == 0)
    minerValue -= fallbackReduction;
else
    sharePerAddress = roundint64((int64_t)share / (int64_t)coinAddressStrings.size());

LogPrintf("coinAddressStrings: %d\n", coinAddressStrings.size());
for (unsigned int i=0; i<coinAddressStrings.size(); i++)
{

This is the code in miner.cpp. I think what you should try is changing the following line:

sharePerAddress = roundint64((int64_t)share / (int64_t)coinAddressStrings.size());

change it to

sharePerAddress = 0;

That should remove any payment to the beneficiary.
