[PATCH] daemon: parse_host_and_port SIGSEGV if port is specified

From: Imre Deak <imre.deak@gmail.com>

This typo will lead to git-daemon dying any time the connect string includes a port after the host= attribute. This can lead for example to one of the following error messages on the client side when someone tries git clone git://...:<port>.

When the daemon is running on localhost:
  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
or when the daemon is connected through an ssh tunnel:
  fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: erro
In the latter case 'erro' comes from the daemon's reply:
  error: git-daemon died of signal 11
