Comment 2 Christian Kellner 2006-05-13 12:30:03 UTC

Why was it NULL in the first place? Shouldnt it be initialized on module init? Not sure. Anyway the patch doesn't harm even it shouldnt be NULL, so please go and commit it!

Comment 3 Christian Neumair 2006-05-13 15:52:56 UTC

Committed. Closing.

Christian: Maybe the rationale was to not allocate any extra memory if the module isn't used.
