Here's what I get from the CLI:

[Switching to thread 1 (Thread 46912506009296 (LWP 28747))]#0  main
(argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe178)
    at /space/fsf/commit/src/gdb/gdb.c:28
28      {

The first line is the frame description and becomes the new-thread-id
and the frame={} tuple.  The second line ("28 {") comes from
print_source_lines (from lack of ui_source_list).  I think we need
both, because we use print_source_lines in other contexts too, but I'm
not sure about that.

So the short answer is that they are duplicated in the CLI too.  The
two copies are just formatted so differently that it isn't obvious.

This does make me wonder about the patch though.  Denis, could you
hold off on committing it?  Which duplicate copy are you eliminating?
Maybe we should diff two testsuite runs to see what else changes.
