Summary: crash on empty location header

Initial Comment:
Hi,

i've found a segfault with empty Location headers.

The curl binary and also the php curl extension is
affected.

The follow code snip with an small php script
demonstrate the problem:

---<empty_location.php>---
<?php
header ('Location: ');
?>
---</empty_location.php>---

./curl -L "http://mytestserver/empty_location.php"

Results a segfault:

Here the backtrace:
#0 0x4002d62b in Curl_perform ()
from /usr/local/curl/7.10/lib/libcurl.so.2
#1 0x4002e2b8 in curl_easy_perform ()
from /usr/local/curl/7.10/lib/libcurl.so.2
#2 0x0804c6a8 in operate ()
#3 0x08049cd6 in main ()

I've test it with
curl 7.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.10
OpenSSL/0.9.6g zlib/1.1.3

Best regards,
