Bug reference:      4912
Logged by:          Tom Bowden

Description:        server core dumps on xslt_process with empty param
string
Details:

I found that when using xslt_process(), either with two parameters, or with
an empty/null third parameter -- that I get a 'server restarted' message.

To stop this behavior, I changed the source code in contrib/xml2/xslt_proc.c
(around line 142) .. adding the following:
if ( pstr == NULL ||  strlen(pstr) < 1 ) {
          params[0] = NULL;
          return;
}


I don't know if this is the right place to report this; whether there is a
better way (or not) to fix it,(add any other disclaimers you might want to
add - or tell me where you want me to go with this :).
