[PATCH] Fixing possible dereferencing of NULL pointer

[PATCH] Fixing possible dereferencing of NULL pointer

[Dirk Hohndel]

I must have misunderstood the cases in which this function can be called
It seemed odd to try to manage authors when author==NULL, but that's
what we appear to be doing; so now we check that autho != NULL and bail
otherwise.
