Hi,
While working on #5259 I noticed that the stepping engine crashes and
burns on x86_64 when a bad frame without unwind info is being stepped
into. This patch handles that case gracefully. And you can now safely
next through simple examples programs like funit-hello as we did in the
last demo - you can still drop into the wrong frame till #5259 is fixed
though.

a bad outer frame.
