Hi,
I am trying to get FreeRadius running on FreeBSD to handle WPA from an OpenWRT 
box, but I found that FreeRadius would crash when a request was processed.

The strcmp's around lines 1630 and 1659 can be done on a NULL pointer (eg 
mainconfig.do_lower_user) which causes a crash.

It is trivial to add a 'mainconfig.do_lower_user != NULL && ' (or similar) in 
front of these strcmps.
