mount segfaults with missing EOL in fstab

mount segfaults with missing EOL in fstab

[Vincent Rivière]

Hello.

I have just noticed that the mount utility segfaults when the last line 
of /etc/fstab is incorrectly terminated with a missing LF, even if it is 
a comment line.

$ mount -a
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Thanks for the hint.  Due to a typo, mount accidentally dereferenced a
pointer which could be NULL.  Fixed in CVS.


Thanks again,
