>Description:
When 0 bytes are written to the tun device it panics when dereferencing a NULL pointer
this can happen in -stable (3.x) and -current (4.0)
My only concern is that possibly a routine higher up should have detected this (a write of 0 length) before it gets to tunwrite().
>How-To-Repeat:
Write 0 bytes to the tun device.
