I haven't applied this patch yet (there was a similar one recently from
another semantic checker I believe) because that code is about to be
deeply reworked (waiting for some dependencies to get in), so this will
just make the patch harder to apply, and the stuff should never be NULL
in the first place anyway.

So let's leave that aside for a bit.

Cheers,
Ben.
