We should fix the problem in mysqlbinlog as it is no good to core.

How to repeat:
Just run mysqlbinlog replicatelogs.388 >388.out and you will get a core dump

Actually the binlog provided is ok. 
The problem is in mysqlbinlog which coredumps if mets Exec_load_log_event without
corresponding Create_file_log_event (which is normal situation if Create_file event is in
other binlog file).
