Subject: [patch] avoid possible null pointer dereference
Date: Fri, 17 May 2013 03:37:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130517013739.GZ2055@acme.spoerlein.net> (raw)

And the last one,

termp_xx_pre() will call term_word() with NULL when the switch case
falls through to the default case. There are several ways to avoid the
segfault, not sure this is the best one.

This is Coverity Scan CID 976115.

Cheers,
Uli
