System name:		REPOMAN.MIT.EDU
Type and version:	KN01 6.4A
Display type:		PM-MONO

What were you trying to do?
	Use the "rolo" program to add a user to the rolodex database

What's wrong:
	A segmentation violation occurs if you try to add a entry with one
	or more of the fields blank.

What should have happened:
	It should correctly add the entry.

The problem is that it is passing in a null pointer to the function
all_whitespace in the file toolsdir/ctools.c; while this works on other
architectures, this patch is needed for the decmips:
