  Modified files:
    sys/compat/linux     linux_misc.c 
  Log:
  The linux times syscall can be called with a NULL pointer, so keep cool
  and don't panic.
  
  This fix is different from the patch submitted as it not only prevents
  a NULL-pointer dereference, but also skips some work in this case.
