How about these?

  maint set catch-demangler-crashes (on|off)
  maint show catch-demangler-crashes
    Control whether GDB should attempt to catch crashes in the symbol
    name demangler.
  
  maint set demangler-warning quit (yes|no|ask)
    Control whether GDB should exit if it catches a crash in the
    symbol name demangler.

I don't know I could shorten "maint demangler-warning"'s entry any
more without it becoming meaningless.

Thanks,
Gary
