Describe the issue you encountered
When a gef.memory.maps section ends and there is a register set to a value near the end, read_cstring will try to read past the end of the page, into unmapped memory. This causes an error in printing the context.
It seems that we can avoid this with set mem inaccessible-by-default off, but I am not sure we want to.
We might want to instead properly set the length based on our memory maps.
Do you read the docs and look at previously closed issues/PRs for similar cases?
