[PATCH] NULL pointer de*re*ference?



Hi,

In reviewing and committing the Japanese translation, I found "NULL
pointer deference" in the English text of DSA 1358, which I think
should be "NULL pointer de*re*ference".  Since I'm not a native
English speaker, however, I don't know whether "deference" is also OK
or not and whether I should fix it or not, and I provide a patch here.
Could you apply it, or tell me that it's no problem?

Thanks,

-nori
