FYI, that's effectively what I did.  It checks the $pc address against a 
table of valid instruction addresses.  It doesn't match it fails, via 
gdb_test_multiple internals.  All thats missing is a pattern to match 
any other pc address in bowler.

Trying to single-step after corrupting the $pc would be meaningless.
