Well, we certainly shouldn't assume valid input from disk files, in any
case. How does the following patch look to you? (I'd much rather
define for certain whether realmstring and username can be NULL or not,
and modify every authn function accordingly, but that's a much bigger
change. I didn't want the perfect to be the enemy of the good.)

[[[
Follow up to r31884 with a null check.

* subversion/libsvn_subr/simple_providers.c
  (simple_password_get): If username is NULL -- which can happen if
    someone manually edits the authn cache -- then return FALSE.

* subversion/include/private/svn_auth_private.h
  (svn_auth__password_get_t): Document that realmstring and username
    really ought not be NULL.
