How about "Run back to call site of FOO"?  That's a pretty clear term.

I thought we'd decided not to translate debug messages.

But I can't remember for sure, and I can't find the message now (just
spent twenty minutes searching for it).  I did find a thread saying
that we agreed to translate internal error messages, which I thought
we'd decided not to.  I think that the arguments given in that thread
imply that we should not translate debugging messages.

(That was here:
  http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2005-02/msg00083.html
)

Sounds to me like we need the Coding chapter of gdbint.texinfo to
record decisions about this :-)
