[PATCH] sxpr dereferences freed memory

["Charles Coffing" <ccoffing@novell.com>]

The attached patch applies to 2.0-testing.

If the xfrd daemon receives a message that is immediately followed by an
EOF, without first seeing whitespace (usually a newline), the sxpr
parser will dereference freed memory.  The attached patch fixes the
dangling pointer.


Thanks,
Charles
