Description:
------------
I believe the bug is caused by using strlen with null, fgets (probably) returns NULL on empty files.

https://github.com/winlibs/wineditline/blob/master/src/history.c#L270

    eof = fgets(&line[s], _EL_BUF_LEN, file);
    line_len = (int)strlen(line);



Test script:
---------------
<?php
touch("empty.file");
readline_read_history("empty.file");


Expected result:
----------------
Nothing

Actual result:
--------------
(227c.1c20): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)
First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
This exception may be expected and handled.

Thanks for reporting. I've pushed a fix to our fork https://github.com/winlibs/wineditline/commit/43c25c4e3e01f06003ac6132a308b5be71fb2611 as the preparation for next RCs and also reported upstream. The patched version is available from the staging series.

The issue is not the NULL, but the line containing unitialized data as nothing was read.

Thanks.
