Sounds like a good idea, almost obvious actually :-).  I tried the
following change on osf1 and x86-linux without any regression, and it
does solve the problem on osf1.

However, I tried it on sparc-solaris with the gdb-6.0 sources because
I knew this target hasn't transitioned to the new frame framework.
It doesn't look like GDB is liking this change there (I've got a lot of
timeouts in call-ar-st). I am currently retrying on the head right now,
hoping the testsuite completes in a reasonable amount of time.

Stay tuned.
