Fix a potential null pointer dereference in the MSN protocol, discovered by Marius Wachtler and reported to [e-mail] on March 22nd. This one is kinda rare, and requires someone to perform a man-in-the-middle attack in order to cause the crash. So we're not going to go through the CVE process for it (at least... probably not).
