   I've checked in a patch with the ChangeLog entry:

   Thu Nov 18 18:12:48 1999  Andrew Cagney  <cagney@b1.cygnus.com>

	   * jv-typeprint.c (java_type_print_base), kod-cisco.c
	   (cisco_kod_open), kod.c (kod_set_os), xcoffread.c
	   (process_linenos), symfile.c (add_symbol_file_command),
	   remote-rdi.c (arm_rdi_open, rdilogfile_command), main.c
	   (captured_main), go32-nat.c (go32_create_inferior), exec.c
	   (exec_file_attach), corefile.c (core_file_command,
	   reopen_exec_file): Replace strdup with xstrdup.

   None of the calls to strdup() were being checked.  At least this gets
   GDB to attempt a clean shutdown :-)

Good stuff!  Could you perhaps add a note to the internals manual?  Strdup
is a standard function, and a year from now somebody will forget about
xstrdup and use the standard function instead.
