Re: [RFA] mips-tdep.c: Fix inferior function call breakage


Without the following patch in place, I've found that inferior function
calls are badly broken for the mips linux targets that I've been testing.
(The warning in heuristic_proc_start() is tripped and things degrade quickly
from there...)

Okay?

	* mips-tdep.c (find_proc_desc): Return early if in a dummy frame.
Hmm, explicit tests for PC in call-dummy set of alarm bells.

Kevin, can you post a backtrace showing how the program came to be there? Two alternative possabilities (in addition to this patch) are:

- the code should not have been called (and the dummy-frame flow should have gone elsewhere)

- the code needs to be made per-frame
