 addresses for the given source filename.  The entries are sorted in
 ascending PC order.
 
+There are two interesting points to be mentioned here.
+
+- The line number can be returned as "0". The line number "0" means
+end-of-sequence. For example, PCs greater than 0x8048406 that
+don't have a new starting line do not belong to this line number table.
+
+- Also, entries can be duplicated when returned. This means the front end
+must be capable of receiving several PC/line entries with the same value.
+Duplicated line numbers are emitted by the compiler to mark, mostly,
+the ends of prologues.  Sometimes the prologue is zero-sized.
