Hi !

This issue appears when ndb_redis module connect to redis via proxy, in my case haproxy. Haproxy keeps front socket always open, when all backend redis servers become unavailable, haproxy just send RST to front, redisCommand function in tis case return NULL poiner, redisc_check_auth try to dereference it without NULL checking.

kamailio log: `kernel: [7250430.508827] kamailio[21749]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f00d7bb106f sp 00007fffc523c620 error 4 in ndb_redis.so[7f00d7b94000+36000]`
