Re: frame_register_unwind(): "frame != NULL" assertion failure

Each case should be examined individually. Change this call:

frame_register_unwind (get_next_frame (frame), regnum, optimizedp, lvalp,
addrp, &realnum, raw_buffer);

to instead call:

static void
generic_unwind_get_saved_register (char *raw_buffer,
int *optimizedp,
CORE_ADDR *addrp,
struct frame_info *frame,
int regnum,
enum lval_type *lvalp)

(note that the get_next_frame(frame) call isn't needed - that function does not have a well chosen name). The function frame_register() would be better but because that knows about old style get_saved_register code it would result in infinite recursion :-(
