Doc Text:
Previously, a change to the list of shared libraries could corrupt the internal "bpstat" structure. Consequent to this, typing the "info program" command at a GDB prompt could cause the utility to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. This update ensures that the "bpstat" structure always contains the correct data, and running the "info program" command no longer causes the debugger to crash.
