Before you check this in, I would prefer to have a policy decision
in place about whether we should show that frame or not.  The relevant
macro is FRAME_CHAIN_VALID; I believe we should universally (or almost
universally) change this to stop at main.  I think that's
func_frame_chain_valid but don't trust my memory.

Some ports (HP/UX comes to mind) do wacky things in this macro/method. 
I'm not sure what they accomplish or whether they are really necessary. 
Most default to either file_ or func_, and we should standardize that
unless there is a good reason not to.
