A call to strcat with NULL as the second argument core dumps with a memory
fault on Ultrix. Why would anyone want to do this anyway ? How about....
strcat(foo,getenv("FOO"))
instead of
if (getenv("FOO")) strcat(foo,getenv("FOO"));
Actually, just coding strcat(foo,NULL) will dump. Anyone run into this ?
Am I doing a no-no here.
