(only took 15 years to realise how "obvious" it was :-)

You can use legacy_frame_p for differentiating old and new code.

Hmm, is "stop_pc == ecs->stop_func_start" a valid test, what happens if 
the program is at 1: and there's a next?

	foo:
		...
	1:	goto foo

Hmm, is in_prologue() adding value when frame_id always works?  Unless 
it's being used to handle stepping through a prologue?
