[Bug gdb/14290] gdb_bfd_unref frees an already freed memory block


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14290

Thanks for the analysis.

For submitting patches see:
http://sourceware.org/gdb/contribute/

I read this patch and I think it may still have problems,
although it is definitely an improvement over the status quo.

First, darwin_bfd_open leaks 'abfd'.
Second, if we close 'abfd' then the dependent BFD probably breaks.

One approach would be to write a wrapper for bfd_mach_o_fat_extract
along the lines of gdb_bfd_openr_next_archived_file.

I'll upload a patch shortly.  I'd appreciate it if you could try
it out and see whether it fixes your problem.
