Hi,

while playing around with Aide I found out that Aide segfaults if the
configuration file is incomplete.

bash-2.05# ./aide -c aide.conf
5:syntax errorSegmentierungsfehler

bash-2.05# cat aide.conf
# AIDE-configuration file

check=p+i+n+u+g+s+b+m+c+md5
/etc/test

I assume that this is a programming bug (Reading the configuration file,
assuming that all parameters are present).

If I change the AIDE-configuration file to

bash-2.05# cat aide.conf
# AIDE-configuration file

check=p+i+n+u+g+s+b+m+c+md5
/etc/test check

everything works fine.

Thomas
