Description:In editline/el.c, approx. line 124, in function el_end(),

We see the statement:
el_free((ptr_t) el->el_prog);

But el->el_prog was never checked for NULL (even though el itself was).

I suggest adding a check for this so that it looks like the following:

if (el->el_prog)
           el_free((ptr_t) el->el_prog);

Though it may sound trivial, I did get a crash with a stack trace that suggested this may be what happened:

gdb) bt

#1  0x4017426c in free () from /lib/libc.so.6

ASTERISK-6 0x08080642 in main ()
ASTERISK-7 0x40120a51 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6

I have only seen this happen once and it is not easily reproducible.
