It looks OK to me, I'm checking it in.  Other parts of that function  
do similar null checks and don't behave specially if they can't set it.

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org  
mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I've encountered a few crashes in Emacs.app, which happened while  
typing when Emacs was a bit busy. It turns out that these crashes  
were due to an omitted null-pointer check at line 4165 of keyboard.c  
in function kbd_buffer_get_event(). The attached patch fixes this  
problem along with a second omitted null-pointer check in line 4323  
of the same function.
