[RFA2] Follow-up decode_line_1 crash

[Keith Seitz <keiths@cygnus.com>]

Problem:

$ gdb -nw -nx -q
(gdb) b "foo"
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

decode_linespec_1 does something like:

char *p = *argptr; (the first quote in "foo")
if (p == '"')
  {
    p++;
    is_quote_enclosed = 1;
  }

  if (is_quote_enclosed)
    {
      char *closing_quote = strchr (p, '"');
      if (closing_quote && closing_quote[1] == '\0')
	*closing_quote = '\0';
    }

/* so now p looks like foo with no quotes and *argptr is "foo */


char *copy = (char *) alloca (p - *argptr + 1); <-- alloca of 0 bytes
memcpy (copy, *argptr, p - *argptr); <-- copy -1 bytes

Tested on RH6.2. Should be generic enough to apply to all targets. I'm no 
expert at this stuff, but a crash is Just Plain Bad (TM).
