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:

> if (astring == NULL) return(T);
Fixed in the read-write copy of the sipb locker.
