Good to hear.  Thanks for tracking this down and clarifying it.

As I understand it, the current status of this bug is that file17000 fixes the reported issue, but hasn't yet been applied to trunk.

I believe this is a different issue; please can you open a separate bug about this.  Reading the frame information seems to be highly sensitive to the optimization level and the exact version of gcc for the build, and the exact version of gdb, alas.  I've been tracking a failure like the one you describe, seen on 64-bit with Fedora in our downstream tracker here:
