The default_from_user retrieval function was pulling the
default_from_user from the global configuration struct in an unsafe way.
If using a database as a backend configuration store, the global
configuration struct is short-lived, so grabbing a pointer from it
results in referencing freed memory.
The fix here is to copy the default_from_user value out of the global
configuration struct.
Thanks go to John Hardin for discovering this problem and proposing the
patch on which this fix is based.
