Hmm, i've once looked into it, but gdb4's structure is totally
changed.  The hooks for a dyadic frame specification have already been
in gdb3, so this has been an easy job to do.  I've just committed it
since i found this useful (and i had to analyze some core dumps in the
last couple of days).

Can someone with more insight into gdb4 speak up?

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
