It looks OK to me. I have filed:
py-finishbreakpoint.c incorrect frame_id_eq
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16324
I have found in create_sentinel_frame:
/* Make the sentinel frame's ID valid, but invalid. That way all
comparisons with it should fail. */
frame->this_id.p = 1;
frame->this_id.value = null_frame_id;
Although I haven't found any code (besides the python above) to depend on it.
