I looked into this a little.
The fix is to make python.c:execute_gdb_command copy the command string
before passing it to execute_command. This avoids gdb commands trashing
Python-owned strings.
It isn't clear to me that gdb commands are allowed to overwrite their
argument strings, though. Are they? disassemble_command does do this,
but it seems wrong to me -- won't it permanently modify the command
stored in a command script?
I'll check in the python fix after testing.
