Summary: [PATCH] Fix segfauly in check_nwstat.c

Initial Comment:
The attached patch fixes a segfault in check_nwstat.c.
If the script can't get netware version, it does:     
                                                 

    asprintf(&netware_version,"");

Which despite what one would hope, actually sets the
POINTER to NULL, per a long-standing, documented bug in
the gnu library - which they keep for backwards
compatibility, best I can tell.                       
               

Anyway, in the cases where there's nothing to copy, I
simply use a strdup which prevents the segfault. Please
apply.
