Hi again,

another portability bug has been identified and fixed: Some plugins,
namely `email', `multimeter' and `users' were passing NULL-pointers back
to the daemon, which would then pass them to `snprintf'. This doesn't do
any harm with the GNU libc, but other libcs segfault at this point.

This release
- fixes the behavior of the plugins, and
- checks in the daemon, that no NULL-pointer are being passed in by the
  plugins, because plugins shouldn't be able to crash the daemon.

Regards,
-octo
