Hi list,
When doing a 'finish' command when EBP contains bad values such that gdb
gets confused about a function's return address, it writes a breakpoint
into an essentially random point in the inferior's address space.
Should I report a bug, or do we consider it the user's own stupid fault
if he/she tries to do a 'finish' command when the frame-pointer is invalid?
Cheers,
Greg
