Re: [RFC/RFA/hppa] unwind pc in bottom frame using correct register

hrm, something is broken. on hppa64-hp-hpux11.11 this is causing a lot
of unwinding failures. the hpux unwind_pc method is getting flags that
have the magic "2" bit set, so it gets the pc from 31 instead of the
pcoqh register.

i don't quite yet understand why this is happening. if i do "print
$flags" on frame #0 the value seems reasonable.
