I need the following patch for NUT to work with my older PowerWare 9315.
According to the docs linked from the NUT website, some of the info is
only returned on newer models/firmware, and the only way to tell is to
check the length of the returned data. The current bcmxcp driver
assumes everything is there and reads off the end of the returned data.
This patch checks the length before trying to read the newer items. I
generated it against nut 2.4.3 because that's the version I'm running
(on a RHEL server, pulling from Fedora EPEL), but it looks like that
code has not changed in 2.6.
