Subject: [PATCH] Updated output_files function to prevent segfault.

I  have updated the output_files function in patch.c to gracefully
handle the following scenario.

Given a git style patch like the following.

  diff --git a/some_file b/some_file
  index 7898192..6178079 100644
  --- a/some_file
  +++ b/some_file
  @@ -1 +1 @@
  -a
  +b

and then running

patch non-existent.file my.patch

will result in a nasty recursion loop that eventually segfaults.
This patch simply addresses the segfault and nothing else, I suspect
some additional work and better error reporting/handling would be
needed.

here is a full example using docker to safely see this bug in action.

docker pull alpine:latest && docker run -i -t alpine:latest sh -c "apk --update add git patch;git config --global user.email '[email protected]';git config --global user.name 'Your Name';git init;echo 'a' > some_file;git add some_file;git commit -m 'Initial commit';echo -e 'b' > some_file;git diff | patch some_file;"
