No problem :-)

I've now implemented a fix for read_frame_register_value by simply
following the same logic as get_frame_register_bytes does.

This fixes the regressions on SPU for me.  Does this work for the
platforms where you were seeing issues as well?

ChangeLog:

	* findvar.c (read_frame_register_value): Respect value_offset
	of the register value.  Remove big-endian special case.
