Summary: NULL pointer error

Initial Comment:
>> IDN::Stringprep.nfkc_normalize("\342")
ArgumentError: NULL pointer given
	from (irb):9:in `nfkc_normalize'
	from (irb):9


I'm not sure if "\342" is even a valid string for IDN, but it's a situation I'm encountering in the wild and it'd be nice if, at the very least, the error was more specific than ArgumentError.

Thanks for the report - I agree that the error could be more specific. I'll give it a look soon...
