+	* linespec.c (decode_variable, symtab_from_filename):  Call
+	error_silent with error message instead of throwing an exception
+	directly.
+	* defs.h (error_silent, error_output_message): Add prototypes.
+	(catch_exceptions_with_msg): Ditto.
+	* utils.c (error_silent, error_output_message): New functions.
