I would strongly prefer not to include this one.  This isn't a unit
testsuite; all GDB tests cover multiple features.  Some backtrace bugs
only show up in these testcases, because they're so picky.

You didn't mention when resubmitting these patches that there were
objections to them.  That's kind of important.  I see that Andrew had
the same objection that I do.
