Description

This ticket supersedes #5087, #5088, #5089, #5090 and #5091. The pointer given in a few member functions could be null. It should be checked before being dereferenced.

In an attempt to make it a little easier to triage the tickets I submit I have combined all of the same type of defects into the same patch within any particular directory. The patch attached to this ticket includes all of the patches in the other tickets as well as having another fix in it not previously reported.

Feel free to close the other tickets.
