This patch fixes a gotcha when comparing exception's messages in
exception_print_same. It should've used the statically-allocated
string versions msg1 and msg2 instead.
As is, it could lead to crashes.

2016-10-24 Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com>
* exec.c (exception_print_same): Fix string comparison to use
statically-allocated ones.
