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).

    cat <<EOF
This program calls purple API functions using DBus.  As opposed to purple-send,
it does not print the return value.

Usage:

   $0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...

This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how
to specify the parameters.

Examples:

   $0 PurpleCoreQuit

Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
