Yep!

It went wrong here.  It tests (regnum < ->nr_raw_registers), but for 
legacy targets NR_RAW_REGISTERS == NUM_REGS + NUM_PSEUDO_REGS :-(

The correct fix is to just delete a heap of code, however ...

 From regcache.c:

>   if ((!gdbarch_pseudo_register_read_p (gdbarch)
>        && !gdbarch_pseudo_register_write_p (gdbarch)
>        && !gdbarch_register_type_p (gdbarch))
>       || REGISTER_BYTE_P () || REGISTER_RAW_SIZE_P ())
>     {
>       descr->legacy_p = 1;
>       init_legacy_regcache_descr (gdbarch, descr);
>       return descr;
>     }

can you try removing the two || ... clauses I added 2003-07-03?

I think my change may have fixed some legacy code but broke others :-(
