[Bug-xnee] cnee causing segfault

[Elizabeth B.]

Hi,

Using the CVS version of libxnee, cnee kept segfaulting:

address@hidden [17:26]:~/src/xnee/cnee/src$  ./cnee --keyboard --record --str 5
Sleep workaround a strange RECORD/Xtest problem around 2009 (ignore it)

Segmentation fault

anyway the offending line of code is:

xnee_record:821       else if (strstr(xd->x_vendor_name, "Sun Microsystems") )

for some reason (because the code is exiting?) this function is called
but there is nothing in xd->x_vendor_name (xd->x_vendor_name == NULL);
maybe its a weird race condition.

Attached is a patch that corrects this issue. Also attached is the
complete output of cnee before the patch.

Best wishes, Elizabeth B.
