[ 098/147] lguest: fix occasional crash in example launcher.

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Oct 14 2012 - 11:04:04 EST


3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Rusty Russell <rusty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ca16f580a5db7e60bfafe59a50bb133bd3347491 upstream.

We usually got away with ->next on the final entry being NULL, but it
finally bit me.
