+Subject: [PATCH] loader/bsd: Check for NULL arg up-front
+
+The code in the next block suggests that it is possible for .set to be
+true but .arg may still be NULL.
+
+This code assumes that it is never NULL, yet later is testing if it is
+NULL - that is inconsistent.
+
+So we should check first if .arg is not NULL, and remove this check that
+is being flagged by Coverity since it is no longer required.
