Please don't hold this back! Producing a decent backtrace is one of
the most important features of a debugger (think about debugging a
crash from a core dump); a debugger that cannot reliably do that
cannot be trusted.

I really don't understand what's to ``hold back'' here: Mark already
made a patch, that patch was reviewed by myself and by Michael, and I
already reported that it fixes the original problems. So it is beyond
me why the MIPS fixes can be in GDB 6.2.1, while the i386 prolog
analysis patch cannot.
