The coverity scanner found this one.
If a line in modules.dep has a ":" but no "/" then:
if ((cp = strchr(buf, ':')) != NULL)
*cp = 0;
else
continue;
if ((cp = strrchr(buf, '/')) != NULL)
cp++;
/* XXX else cp is still null */
i = strlen(cp);
... we will deref a null pointer (cp). This can be
demonstrated by putting a line like:
foo.ko:
into modules.dep. The below change just says that if no "/" is
found, treat the whole string as the module name.

FWIW; this resolves RH bugzilla:
[Bug 486997] rawhide's init/nash segfaults in libblkid
and also is an extension of the patch Jim sent a couple days ago.
The issue is that for fedora initrds, anyway, modules dep is something like:
crc16.ko:
ext4.ko: jbd2.ko crc16.ko
...
so it hits exactly this case.

Thanks, applied to the e2fsprogs git tree.
