Crash when running Tools programs

[Dave Orzechowski]

It ended up being an error in a strlen call invoked
from debug().

This solution seems to be working well:
CC:        GCC-2.95.1
Platform:  Solaris 2.6
Version:   kdevelop-1.0beta3
File:      kswallow.cpp 
Functions: void KSwallowWidget::sWExecute()  
Line #: 135

Before:     debug("Args: %s", arg.data());

After :     str = arg.data();
            if (str != NULL)
	         debug("Args: %s", str);
