GDB-6.0 stack trace problem.

[Thomas Lucas]

Hello,

I am not sure whether the following problem is a bug or operator
error....

I'm using GDB-6.0 and I've also tried a current snapshot
gdb+dejagnu-20031215 on SPARC Solaris 2.6 and they both only give a
short stack trace of 3 frames, 0, 1 and 2. If you step until you
exit the top frame you still get 3 frames but now an additional one
has appeared. There are no limits on the number of frames reported
and I can't see any other relevant settings.

I don't understand much of the frame structure or GDB structures but
the last two frames appear to get the same prev_pc value and this
appears to be because the frame_extra_info->bottom value is the same.
But that's as far as I've looked.

Any ideas? My search of the bug database hasn't come up with anything.
