	PR breakpoints/9681:
	* exceptions.h (enum errors): New error type, MEMORY_ERROR.
	* corefile.c (memory_error): Rewrite to throw a MEMORY_ERROR.
	* breakpoint.c (fetch_watchpoint_value): Ignore MEMORY_ERRORs, but
	retrow all other exceptions.

	PR breakpoints/9681:
	* gdb.base/watchpoint.exp: Add test regression.
