--- Comment #3 from Garrett Cooper,425-314-3911 <ngie@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Jilles Tjoelker from comment #2)

An assert and adding behavior so it would return as described in comment # 0
would be better than a segfault. We have a ton of applications at $work that
are multithreaded, and it peeves me off when they segfault and we have to go
track down why.

Dereferencing NULL is inconsistent with other OSes and makes us look silly --
especially when it's not documented.
