Title:
  nih_str_split() can return garbage array elements.

Status in NIH Utility Library:
  Fix Committed
Status in “libnih” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If nih_str_split() is called with the args below it will return an
  extra array element containing random data:

      char **argv = nih_str_split (NULL, "hello\n\n\n", " \t\r\n",
  TRUE);

  What we get is:

     args[0] == "hello"
     args[1] == << random data >>
     args[2] == NULL

  What we expect is:

     args[0] == "hello"
     args[1] == NULL
