Re: [PATCH] MI: -var-update bug

I don't understand frame.c well enough to judge yet (likewise with eval.c and
your patch) but if you think its silly lets remove it.  Without randomisation,
I think some of this code (in c_value_of_root) would put the variable object
back into scope because it would find the frame id.

More generally, should we make GDB delete all variable objects if we restart
execution or are there OSes (without randomisation) where it is still useful?
