dovecot - Mar 2009 - Segmentation fault when only use pop3

Hi.
I found the problem when only use POP3 at v1.1.12.

[root at kessel]# diff /usr/local/etc/dovecot-example.conf
/usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
23a24
> protocols = pop3
47a49
> disable_plaintext_auth = no

> ssl_disable = yes
[root at kessel]# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot
Segmentation fault

Cause, call null-pointer's pointer.
The following is quick-hack patch,

[toyota at kessel]% diff -c master-settings.c.org master-settings.c
*** master-settings.c.org       2009-03-14 04:11:53.000000000 +0900

!       if (p != NULL && p[3] == '\0')
!               return TRUE;
!       p = strstr(set->server->imap->login_executable, "

!       if (p != NULL && p[3] == '\0')
!               return TRUE;
        return FALSE;
  }

Yeah. I also heard about this a few days ago. I guess I'll have to  
release 1.1.13 :(

I did a pretty similar fix: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/c6c50a99141f
