It was because long ago, somebody complained that glibc or eglibc
crashed in *printf() if the string you passed was NULL.  Hence why that
check is sprinkled throughout code I've written.  I'm pretty sure that's
no longer the case, but it's kinda reflex by now.

If we agree that it's no longer a problem, I'm happy to stop doing
that :)
