In a gdb-script-mode buffer, eg. .gdbinit with the cursor (|) in
the following position:

de|

Calling `M-x info-complete-symbol' causes an infinite loop. In the
function `info-lookup-guess-gdb-script-symbol' the result
of `nbutlist' isn't being assigned back to variable.

Thanks, should be fixed now on the emacs-29 branch.
