[PATCH] Don't call strchr with the NULL character.

- Subject: [PATCH] Don't call strchr with the NULL character.
In the printf code we call strchr without guarding against the
case where the second parameter is NULL.
My local manpage for strchr doesn't say what happens in this case,
but this file: src/libiberty/strchr.c
suggests the results are undefined, and indeed, the answer I see is
not NULL (which is what I might have hoped for).
Patch below adds check for NULL character, and some tests which are
currently failing for me, but as it's string overflow, the results
are going to be undefined.
OK to apply?
Thanks,
Andrew
