Gdb verison 3.0 got bus error when the (syntactically wrong) command
"handle nopass" is given.  Same bug appears on the Suns and the
Vaxes.  Here is the script:

------------

(gdb) handle nopass
Bus error

------------

Although the command was invalid, I think gdb should give an error
message rather than abort itself.
