The 'sy' command may be misused, which is mistakenly considered as
the 'symbol-file' command in the crash utility, this will discard
symbol table from the current symbol file, and eventually caused the
failure of crash utility after executing the 'sys' command as below:
crash> sy
GNU_GET_DATATYPE[sy]: returned via gdb_error_hook
Discard symbol table from `/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/modules/5.11.0-2.el9.x86_64/vmlinux'? (y or n) Please answer y or n.
Discard symbol table from `/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/modules/5.11.0-2.el9.x86_64/vmlinux'? (y or n) No symbol file now.
crash> sys
GNU_GET_SYMBOL_TYPE: returned via gdb_error_hook
double free or corruption (!prev)
Aborted (core dumped)
Actually, the 'symbol-file' command has been added to the gdb-prohibited
list. To prevent current error, let's add the 'sy' command to the list
so that the crash utility does not pass the 'sy' command directly to GDB.
