+x86_cpu_gdb_read_register segfaults when gdb requests registers
+
+When attempting to attach to the gdbstub, a segfault occurs.
+
+I traced this down to a problem in a call to gdb_get_reg16 where the mem_buf
+was being treated like a uint8_t* instead of a GByteArray.  The buffer passed
+to gdb_get_reg16 ends up passing an invalid GByteArray pointer, which subsequently
+causes a segfault in memcpy.
+
+I have a fix for this - just need to educate myself on how to submit a patch.
+
+Thanks for tracking down the source of the bug. Our 'submitting patches' policy is at https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch in case you haven't already found it. (It's quite long but for a simple one-shot bugfix patch the important stuff is just the summarized bits at the top.)

+Fixed in commit bbc40fefcee0d69d61ceaf8c0695d2ce43cdc87b.
