Could someone please tell what the expected result of fclose() on a
null-pointer should be.  On NetBSD-current/i386 I get a segmentation
fault.  Is it just bad programming practice to not check whether a
file pointer is NULL before it is passed to fclose()?  I notice that
on DEC/OSF, DEC/Ultrix, and HP-UX it seems to be OK to invoke fclose()
with a NULL poiner.

I always do an explicit test first, though...

Thanks,
