Hi Simon,

What I meant was that when I previously did tests with the native
build, for some reason the freed data was not being overwritten, or
possible written with the same data, at the time read_symbols was
called in reread_symbols.  Thus problem wasn't exposed before the
objfiles_changed is eventually called in reread_symbols.

I just did a test with a native build of gdb (7.9.1) and the problem
was exposed, so chances are it will be also be exposed with a ToT
build.
