Help implementing GNU Readline in C

I am currently working on implementing a Unix shell. I am looking to use GNU Readline in order to enhance the interface. However, my code is generating random Segfaults, even during user input.

I stripped down the code to the maximum for readability:

agros.h

#define MAX_LINE_LEN 256
#define MAX_ARGS (MAX_LINE_LEN/2)
#define WHITESPACE " \t\n"

#define OTHER_CMD   0
#define EMPTY_CMD   1
#define EXIT_CMD    2

#define CMD_NBR     3


/*
 * This structure allows me to handle built-in commands with a switch statement
 * instead of multiple ifs. Since I cannot switch on a string, I associate a
 * command_code to each built-in command. The codes are define as preprocessor
 * instructions.
 */

typedef struct built_in_commands built_in_commands;
struct built_in_commands{
    char command_name[MAX_LINE_LEN];
    int command_code;
};

/*
 * This structure holds user input. 3 fields:
 *   - argv: an array of strings. Each word of the input is a case of the array.
 *   - name: the name of the executable called. By default it's argv[0]
 *   - argc: the number of words given in input. It's equivalent to the length of argv.
 *
 * Note to self: Some filenames have a space character (" ") in their names. I will have
 * to deal with that properly ... someday.
 */

typedef struct command_t command_t;
struct command_t{       
    char* name;
    int argc;
    char* argv[MAX_ARGS+1];
};

        }
    }

    return 0;
}

I hope it's okay to paste such a large portion of code. And thanks for whoever reads it. NB: Feel free to comment on other things, like my awkward switch statement in the main. Thanks ^^

This array is NULL filled:

built_in_commands my_commands[CMD_NBR] = {
    {"exit" , EXIT_CMD  },
    {""     , EMPTY_CMD },
    {"cd"   , CD_CMD    }
};

As the value of CMD_NBR is 5 it is the equivalent off:

my_commands[3] = { NULL, 0 };
my_commands[4] = { NULL, 0 };

Thus in the function:

int get_cmd_code (char* cmd_name)

When you do the comparison test:

if (!strcmp (my_commands[i].command_name, cmd_name))

If i > 2 then the above will crash.
