  This commit fixes a resource leak found by Coverity, where interp's
constructor allocated memory for m_name that interp's destructor did
not free.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* interps.h (interp::m_name): Make private and mutable.
	* interps.c (interp::~interp): Free m_name.

Elsewhere Pedro asked for a different patch subject, so I think that
would apply here as well.

Gary> 	* interps.h (interp::m_name): Make private and mutable.
Gary> 	* interps.c (interp::~interp): Free m_name.

This is ok.
