Gah.  Thanks for the heads up.  The test was passing for me locally,
but running under valgrind shows that there's uninitialised memory.
I've pushed the below as (hopefully) obvious after testing on
aarch64-linux-gnu.

Thanks,
Richard


AARCH64_OPDE_EXPECTED_A_AFTER_B and AARCH64_OPDE_A_SHOULD_FOLLOW_B
are not paired with an error string, but we had an assert that the
error was nonnull.  Previously this assert was testing uninitialised
memory and so could pass or fail arbitrarily.

opcodes/
	* aarch64-opc.c (verify_mops_pme_sequence): Initialize the error
	field to null for AARCH64_OPDE_EXPECTED_A_AFTER_B and
	AARCH64_OPDE_A_SHOULD_FOLLOW_B.
	* aarch64-dis.c (print_verifier_notes): Move assert.
