>Description:
When given a data with embbedded '\0' before the first '\r' occurrentce,
tradcpp0 will dump core trying to dereference a null pointer.
The following code in fixup_newlines function is problematic:
p = (U_CHAR *) strchr ((const char *) fp->buf, '\r');
*end = '\0';
if (p == end)
return;
if (p > fp->buf && p[-1] == '\n')
p--;
q = p;
while (p < end)
switch (*p)
^^^^^ Crash happens here.
With null character before the first '\r', strchr can return NULL,
causing the crash later.
Preprocessing binary data is questionable activity, but I think
preprocessor should handle these mistakes gracefully.
>How-To-Repeat:
tradcpp0 /etc on any system which allow directory opens (i.e. any BSD system)
