The problem is that if xrealloc decides it needs a new memory block,
it frees the previous block/pointer, and then text.reset() frees it
again.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2017-10-17 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* xml-support.c (xml_fetch_content_from_file): Call
unique_ptr::release() instead unique_ptr::get() when passing
through xrealloc.
