Summary: Fix segfault in check_nwstat.c

Initial Comment:
Since I wrote a patch for the bug I reported in bug
1055054, I thought perhaps I should post it here as well...

>From the Bug Report:

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.

- Phil
