   FYI, the i386 psABI, which is also used by the x86-64 psABI, says:

   %ebp	The content of this register is unspecified at process
	   initialization time, but the user code should mark the
	   deepest stack frame by setting the frame pointer to zero.
	   No other frame's %ebp should have a zero value.

Which contradicts the optional nature of %ebp as a frame pointer.  So
the standard contradicts itself.  Anyway, in practice the %ebp == 0
condition is useless.
