Ok, I use in general quilt for patches, but of course I can sent them
in future by using cvs -p for diff.

Yes, I did. But it hadn't solved the issue.

The patch in PR/10966 looks similar but didn't solved the issue, For
some of those place I added a default initialization of sal's pspace
are maybe superflous, but I saw the issue just remaining for obj-c.

I tested that the necessary patches to solve my issue are in frame.c
(find_frame_sal) and linespec.c (decode_line_2), The other seems to be
not really necessary.

Sadly the test-scenario for this issue is a bit big. I'll try to make
a testcase for it, but AFAI had seen it happens for me with Obj-C and
shared object files. I hope it isn't a Windows specific thing, but I
wouldn't assume so.
