Right.

The problem is with the recursive case, where there are several frames
which map to the same line numbers, and several instances of the variable.
gdb could have bugs where it creates a watchpoint for one of these frames,
but then deletes it when an inferior frame exits. With this patch,
the test suite wouldn't detect such a bug.
