Follow-up Comment #5:

I think this is a bug in ASAN, but I did change these static structs to
include the "const" modifier.  Maybe that will clue ASAN in and maybe it
won't.

    [grops]: Fix code style nit.
    
    * src/devices/grops/ps.cpp (ps_printer::special)
      (resource_manager::process_file): Fix code style nit.  Mark static
      structs initialized within functions and never modified thereafter as
      `const`.  This attempts to work around an apparent false positive from
      AddressSanitizer.  If it doesn't pacify ASAN, please explain to me how
      constant structure members initialized to string literals and function
      pointers within the translation unit can ever be null.  If that is
      infeasible, please report a bug to your compiler vendor.
