Fixed in git, commit 88c8da14, by aborting the linter when the command string is empty.

The fix is improved in commit 0e72c0d3, by stripping leading blanks from that string first.

To reproduce, run:

echo 'syntax one ".*"' >smallrc
echo 'color blue "the"' >>smallrc
echo 'linter ""' >>smallrc
src/nano --rc=smallrc README

Now invoke the linter with: ^T^Y
Nano says it "Got 0 parsable lines from command:  ".

Now try to exit from nano with: ^X
The character gets printed verbatim.
Try to move the cursor left: ^[OD gets printed.  :/
Something is quite wrong.

Escape with: ^Z fg <Enter> ^X

Problem exists since commit bc36813349 from three years ago.  Before that, nano would crash when invoking the linter while the command was empty.
