The behavior of strtok_r() is not the same between GNU libc and FreeBSD libc: in the first case, the context is set to "" when the last token is returned, while in the second case it is set to NULL.
On FreeBSD, the current code crashes because we are dereferencing a NULL pointer (ctx1). Fix it by first checking if it is NULL. This works with both GNU and FreeBSD libc.
