I am looking at the latest registeruser changes to incorporate 
them into pismere moira gui client. I encountered a crash
when I tried to register a user. I entered "?" when prompted 
P.O box type and it crashed in the FreeInfo() call inside
RegisterUser() in user.c

if (strcmp(potype, "POP") && strcmp(potype, "IMAP"))
    {
      sprintf(temp_buf, "Unknown P.O. Box type.");
      Put_message(temp_buf);
      FreeInfo(args);
      return DM_NORMAL;
    }

args is an array of MAX_ARGS_SIZE, but it never gets fully initialized. 
I tried to initialize them to NULLs at the start of the code and that seems
to fix the problem. 

Thanks. 

Qing
