(in fact, all the assembler stepping tests).  I traced it back to this change:

2007-08-21  Sami Wagiaalla  <swagiaal@redhat.com>

        * TestFrameDebugInfo.java (testFrameDebugInfoStackTrace): New passes number
        of frames to printStackTrace.
        * DebugInfoStackFactory.java (printStackTrace): Now takes a number frames
        arguement.
Comment 1 Andrew Cagney 2007-08-22 02:48:22 UTC 
Work-around for now:

	* TestFhd.java (testFhpdVirtualStackTrace): Move to

	* DebugInfoStackFactory.java: Revert enabling of virtual stack
	backtraces by default for now.  Bug 4947.

	* TestStackCommands.java (testFhpdVirtualStackTrace): Moved to
	here from frysk.bindir.TestFhd.  Disable for now.  Bug 4947.

	* CoreFileAtSignal.java (constructCore(File)): New.
Comment 2 Andrew Cagney 2007-08-22 13:40:41 UTC 
This more selectively enables the virtual stack backtrace
(createNonVirtualDebugInfoStackTrace gets confusing as a name), and lets the new
work continue.  It should probably be enabled in a few more places (but not the
stepping engine tests).

The underlying problem (or the real bug), looking at the stack backtrace is
likely either in libunwind or its binding.  The question <<is this a signal
frame>> shouldn't result in an exception.

	* DebugInfoStackFactory.java (createDebugInfoStackTrace)
	(createVirtualStackTrace): Rename
	createVirtualDebugInfoStackTrace.
	* TestFrameDebugInfo.java: Update.

Index: frysk-core/frysk/hpd/ChangeLog
2007-08-22  Andrew Cagney  <cagney@redhat.com>

	* CLI.java: Use DebugInfoStackFactory.createVirtualStackTrace.
	* CoreCommand.java: Ditto.
	* TestStackCommands.java (testFhpdVirtualStackTrace): Remove
	unresolved 4947.
