[krbdev.mit.edu #7153] krb5-1.10.1 - SIGSEGV (kadmin.local)

The following will cause a SIGSEGV:

 

cat <<EOF | kadmin.local

addprinc -randkey -policy local -allow_tix -allow_tgs_req test/foo

EOF

 

The following is the offending code which is causing the issue (and the fix
is simply not to dereference a null pointer):
