Its a problem if the system's *printf() function segfault on NULL being passed
for a %s format string. The glibc implementation doesn't crash, and
outputs (null).
Its still a bug in the code for passing NULL in the first place, but
not critical.

So it is a problem for: old glibc, or non-glibc systems which crash on
NULL (looks like Solaris is one of them).

Apply:
$ svn diff -r3142:3143
