You are right that games with the nodemask are dangerous and can
potentially lead to unexpected behavior. I wanted to make this code as
simple as possible though and printing mems_allowed for NULL nodemask
looked like the way. Feel free to post a patch to handle null nodemask
in the output if you think it is an improvement.
