segv on missing mailfile

[DavidBiesack]

If a .conkyrc file uses

TEXT
${new_mails}

I get a segv with conky 1.9.0

* Error in `/usr/bin/X11/conky': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x00000000009bc9b0 *

I also get the segv if I use

mail_spool /path/to/my/mail/file
TEXT
$new_mails

It works if I use

${new_mails /path/to/my/mail/file}

or

mail_spool /path/to/my/mail/file
TEXT
${new_mails}

Conky coredumps when using ${mails} or ${new_mails} in case:

• the environment variable "MAIL" is not defined and
• in Conky, "mail_spool" is not defined and "mailbox" is not specified with ${mails} or ${new_mails}.
