Hi Harikrishna,

Thank you for detailing your attempt at testing. Unfortunately, your
patch makes no substantive change. The variable you are setting to NULL
is assigned before use, so there is no risk of undefined behavior.

I know this can seem discouraging to hear, but I do want you to
encourage you to keep looking for ways you can make contributions.

Thanks,
David
