As others pointed out, GDB should not crash when it reads the debuggee's
memory, even if the pointer is invalid.  The debug interface should 
return a failure indication, and GDB should have said ``cannot access 
memory at addres 12345678''.  If the debug interface didn't return a 
failure indication, it can be due to a kernel bug, but I doubt that this 
is what happened.
