Changed code to not dereference a NULL secAlias.

Looks better, but this should IMHO go as part of the larger series, because on
its own, it doesn't make much sense to fix an issue that doesn't exist yet, but
will in a short period of time. Therefore, rather than doing it in a separate
patch, we should make it part of the series, because, repeating myself, this
should be a mere adjustment necessary for the larger series to work properly,
not a fix of an issue - the issue should either exist already or the series
shouldn't introduce a crasher in the first place.
