I can't comment on the internal mechanism, but I know that as a user of
gdb, if something happens during a hand function call to marker2() like
gdb hitting another breakpoint or me hitting ^C, then gdb starts acting
a little drunk at that point. So I bet that explicit save/restore of
these frames would help.
