Subject: 24.0.50; "catch exception" in gdb mode is badly handled

Hi,

I'm trying to use the GDB mode of Emacs to debug Ada code.

Running M-x gdb RET RET
catch exception

raises the following:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  propertize(nil font-lock-face font-lock-function-name-face)
  gdb-breakpoints-list-handler-custom()
  gdb-breakpoints-list-handler()
  apply(gdb-breakpoints-list-handler nil)
  (save-current-buffer ...
  (with-current-buffer ...
  (lambda (&rest args) ...
  gdb-done-or-error(...
  gud-gdbmi-marker-filter(...
  apply(gud-gdbmi-marker-filter ...
  gud-marker-filter(...
  gud-filter(...

I could reproduce this with a freshly launched "emacs -Q".

Thanks,

Thanks for the bug report, and sorry for the long delay.  I think this
was independently fixed by Sam Steingold; if you still still see the
problem with latest trunk, please reopen the bug.
