Missing NULL check

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Jacob,

   Following on from Torbjorn's and Fanguri's points, I would also like
   to say that for non-trial bugs, or code improvements, it really helps
   if you file a report via the sourceware bugzilla system:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=binutils

   This allows us to keep all of the discussion related to the issue in
   one place, and to refer to it in the code, git-log entries and changelog
   entries via a simple problem report number.

Cheers
   Nick
