retitle libgksu: Unguarded variable causes assert

Hello,

I've encountered this bug too.
Here is a patch that fixes the problem. In my case the fprintf(stderr,
"%s", child_stderr) would attempt to print the NULL pointer.

It turns out that the bug is not in gksu, but in libgksu.

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus

PS: As a result of this patch, the gksudo will silently fail. But that's
already reported in other bug reports. (The failure to run is correctly
logged in /var/log/auth.log though)
