Which 21 vs 28 failures are these ?  (I could reproduce the mi-cli.exp
failure, but I do not know if this is the problem Andrew was
referring to).

Although applying it would be a bad idea because it reverts several
bug fixes that plug memory leaks.

Instead here is a version that removes the use of "concat()" inside
dwarf2.c:concat_filename() which is a good thing, but which probably
does not solve the problem that you encountered in GDB.

Can you narrow down which part of David Heine's patch (altered by me)
is causing you problems, or tell me which tests in GDB are now failing
so that I can try to track it down myself.

Cheers

	* dwarf2.c (concat_filename): Use bfd_malloc() and strdup()
	instead of concat().
	(decode_line_info): Only free filename if it is not NULL.
