Subject: htdig: [Patch] Incorrect ExternalParser can kill htDig

Hello!

I wrote my own external parser for WinWord document and done error in it.
External parser must write to stdout "w \t <3 parameters>". But if
parameters is less then 3 then Dig core dump. After debuging htdig.core i
found problem in source code. Function strtok return null if no more tokens.
But any chek don't done.
