Hello!
Node "32.6.5.4 Stack Buffer" starts with this paragraph:
The stack buffer displays a "call stack", with one line for each of the
nested subroutine calls ("stack frames") now active in the program.
*Note Backtraces: (gdb)Backtrace.
The Backtraces link is incorrect:
Info-find-file: Info file gdb does not exist
There are a lot more "(gdb)" related links.

It's not incorrect, it's saying that it can't find the info manual for Gdb on
your system. I'm not familiar with Mac OS X but do you have Gdb installed and,
if so, does that package include the Gdb manual?

They all point to other parts of the Gdb manual.

Works for me. Is the GDB manual installed on your system?

As Nick points out, the problem is on your machine. These links all
work for me.

GNU gdb 6.3.50-20050815 is installed – but no info file (some HTML
instead is available)! Thanks, I understand now *my* problem!

Mac generally provides documentation in the form of PDF in the
Developer's Tools disk. It's a shame, since Info is so much nicer for
this kind of doc browsing.
Unfortunately for some reason (a) MacPorts doesn't provide a more
recent gdb and (b) is generally horrible about providing
documentation.

They also have their own version of Gdb, patched to work with Xcode and Emacs
is only provided from the terminal. As a prorietary system, I presume that
they would rather you developed Cocoa (?) applications with their framework
than free software using Emacs.
