Currently, execlog searches for a space separator between the
instruction mnemonic and operands, but some disassemblers, e.g. Alpha's,
use a tab separator instead; this results in a null pointer being passed
as the haystack in g_strstr during a subsequent register search, i.e.
undefined behavior, because of a missing null check.
This patch adds tab to the separator search and a null check on the
result.
Also, existing, affected pointers are changed to const.
Lastly, a break statement was added to immediately terminate the
register search when a user-requested register is found in the current
instruction as a trivial optimization, because searching for the
remaining requested registers is unnecessary once one is found.

We have a general preference for glib here, could we use g_strsplit_set?
Something like:

Certainly, and thanks for the suggestion! May I credit you with a
"Suggested-by" or "Co-authored-by" tag in v2 of the patch?
