Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fix for possible null pointer dereference in node.c

Hi

When I run cppcheck find the about 5,000 errors, of these, I selected
the 100 most serious and has made patches. But my ability to immerse
myself in each failure has been limited unfortunately.

Okay, I send it through the scripts instead.


Best regards
