The error throws gdb out of the info registers function, so no, not 
without other changes.

Having seen michael's comments, I also suspect that "No registers" isn't 
that helpful.  I'd expect a user to fix this problem by looking for a 
program or core file, and not by looking for registers :-)

Anyway, for the immediate problem at hand ("return" and return_command), 
I tweaked toe code so that it directly checked that there was a target 
before doing anything and then issued the existing response.
