strtok behaviour when uninitialized

All,
When using strtok for the first time without initializing
it throws a segfault. Following code can reproduce the error
int main() {
char* str = strtok(NULL, " ");
return 1;
}
I am aware that this is not the correct way of using strtok. First
call should always pass a non NULL string. Before glibc 2.23 strtok
used to return a NULL for the above code. Would it make sense to
add a NULL check and not let strtok throw a segfault?
