I notice that when this change matters, i.e. we hit a premature end, next_arg() that yielded NULL would have cleared cmd. That is OK for the fprintf() we see above, but wouldn't it hit parse_response_code() that is shared between good and bad cases? The function starts like so: static int parse_response_code(struct imap_store *ctx, struct imap_cmd_cb *cb, char *s) { struct imap *imap = ctx->imap; char *arg, *p; if (*s != '[') return RESP_OK; /* no response code */ so we will get an immediate NULL dereference, it appears. The fixes in other hunks looked OK (and not cute).
