--- Comment #1 from Tom Tromey <tromey at sourceware dot org> ---
inferior_command does:

      num = parse_and_eval_long (args);

which I suppose allows a pointer to be converted to an integer.
It looks like there are other calls that have this same problem.
We'd have to examine all the calls (there are a surprising number)
to see if converting this function to be more strict would be ok.
