How about instead of the above, we do something like:

fprintf(stderr, "Credential formatted incorrectly: %s\n",
	temp_val ? temp_val : "(null)");

...that way we get an error message even if temp_val is NULL. If that
sounds ok, I'll fix it and commit or you can just send a respun patch...

I think this bug was mine; sorry about that.  Good catch, good solution.

No worries. These things happen. It's always ideal to correct bugs
before they become a problem though :)
