All right.  Then let's leave that test alone, and add another
test, much later on, to detect and report this situation.

Here's my revised patch.  Testsuites un-affected.

As before, the effect of this change is to have gdb print
a more informative message instead of a meaningless zero-frame.

2007-11-30  Michael Snyder  <msnyder@specifix.com>

	* frame.c (get_prev_frame): Remove unused local variable.
	(get_prev_frame_1): Check for null saved pc in the calling 
	frame.  Set up stop_reason conditions for printing stop reason.
