>Description:
 Signal frame backtraces in the presence of a stripped libc.so.6 have been
 broken for a while now on i386 GNU/Linux.  The test didn't catch it,
 however.  We would get a backtrace that looked like:
 
   handler
   sigaction
   __libc_start_main
 
 instead of:
   handler
   <signal handler called>
   main
   __libc_start_main
 
 (purely by coincidences in the stack frame layout, as far as I can tell). 
 This makes the test a little more sensitive: it looks for " main " instead
 of "main", and it looks for "signal handler" in the next-to-top frame.  OK?
