Bug#222891: libc6: strdup (NULL) segfaults

[Robert Millan <rmh@debian.org>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10
Severity: normal

Calling strdup (NULL) causes a segmentation fault in libc:

  Starting program: /tmp/test

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  0x40098a8f in strlen () from /lib/libc.so.6

The documentation doesn't say the string can't be NULL. When that happens,
I'd expect it to not segfault and return NULL either.
