It's a bug in more, afaics.  In case of pressing 'n', the search function
is called with a NULL buf argument.  However, the function calls
strlen(buf) without checking buf for NULL.  The indentation at this
point in the file looks like this  `if (strlen(buf) > 0) {' has been
added as a kind of patch.
