[Nano-devel] segfault when writing a file to a path that doesnt exist

[Mike Frysinger]

noticed with nano-2.0.1 and just reproduced with cvs ...

to make it crash, do:
nano /some/dir/path/that/does/not/exist
hit CTRL+O to save and then just hit enter

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
