>Description:
new_fieldtype() returns NULL if either of it's arguments are NULL this
does not behave as expected.
Refer to 11-96 CUI FMLI & ETI
>How-To-Repeat:
Use new_fieldtype and pass one of the fp args as NULL.
>Fix:
I personally would just change the new_fieldtype's implementation
to do:
if ((field_check == NULL) && (char_check == NULL))
return NULL;
As opposed to the || that is used now.
