Subject: [patch 2/3] find_separate_debug_file cleanup

Hi,

current code was:
* difficult to maintain as a new variable required xfree on many places
* was causing memory corruptions due to silently misapplied 3rd party patches
  as the close code fragments unfortunately match patch context


Thanks,
Jan

	* symfile.c (find_separate_debug_file): Initialize dir, debugfile and
	canon_name to NULL.  Change alloca to xmalloc, newly call xfree for it.
	New label cleanup_return_debugfile, jump to it from the failure paths.
