How can s[1] be NULL? If there aren't two parameters in the input we'd
have returned earlier since i!=2, and each element in s[] is
initialized from a pointer that has been dereference immediately
beforehand, and hence can't be NULL.

Better to move the parsing of s[1] ahead of this, and do a numerical
comparison? Otherwise this will miss the case where the input string
is e.g. "8:0 00"
