Packet driver bug.

The following bug appears to be in all the non-USG versions of the packet driver
used by uucp (I've used it for other things, am I alone in this?).
I believe the following will prevent those unsightly core dumps from
occasionally being generated by uucico:
pk1.c:222 Move the line containing "*bp" *AFTER* the test to see if its null.
--------------------------
if (k && pksizes[k] == pk->p_rsize) {
pk->p_rpr = h->cntl & MOD8;
pksack(pk);
Connodata = 0;
bp = pk->p_ipool;
if (bp == NULL) {
PKDEBUG(7, "bp NULL %s\n", "");
return;
}
pk->p_ipool = (char **) *bp; /* LMCL: Now after the null test */
}
-------------------------
