This PR avoids a potential crash when clicking the Details button to open the monitor dialog. It does not solve the root cause of the problem (an algorithm pointer being null) but stops mantid crashing if a null pointer is found.
To test:
The crash is intermittent and is not easily reproducible. The problem has been seen frequently by offspec users and we have managed to reproduce it under the debugger on their machine. They are testing a dev version with the same fix as this PR and so far have not seen the crash again.
Fixes #18951 .
