This fixes the crash with a null conf file. This fixes bug
#1030.
kes Redefine CURES in lib/parse_conf to be URES and move it all
into lib/parse_conf.c -- this responds to bug #1042, but does
not fix it. The fix is not to compile with FORTIFY_SOURCE.
kes Backport fix de-referencing a NULL pointer in the scanner from
the trunk SVN. I don't think this was reported as a bug
