I kludged around it in my local copy, by returning a null string, without calling strlen(), but I didn't submit a patch, because the very fact that a NULL pointer is being passed in is a bug elsewhere in the code, which I have not been able to find and squish, because I have not yet invested the time to fully understnd the control flow of this part of setup.
