info symbol can crash GDB

Subject: info symbol can crash GDB

In some cases if the argument to info symbol isn't a number, it causes a
segmentation fault:

  (gdb) inf sym 0x8049bb8.
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Previously e.g GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (6.1post-1.20040607.43rh), this was
just reported as an invalid number:


  (gdb) inf sym 0x8049bb8.
  Invalid number "0x8049bb8.".

which seems a bit kinder.
