This is OK, but please adjust the commit log comment, as pointed out below, before pushing.

Thanks for fixing this, and for the testcase.

| +When the current target ('core_target') is being closed, it checks for
| +possible observers registered with it and calls them.  TUI is one of
| +those observers, it gets called, tries to update the status line, and
| +GDB crashes.

| +The real problem is that we are calling 'target_close' too soon,

PS2, Line 84:

No, as I mentioned in a previous comment, the real problem is that
we're clearing m_stack[stratum], but forget to adjust m_top.
target_stack::unpush does that, but here I forgot to do it.
Please adjust the comment.

| +Interestingly, this scenario is covered in 'target_stack::unpush', but
| +for some reason we are not calling it here.  The fix, therefore, is to
| +call 'unpush' if there's a target on the stack.
| +
| +This patch has been tested on the Buildbot and no regressions have
| +been found.  I'm also submitting a testcase for it.
