gud: not handing frames-invalid notification

gud: not handing frames-invalid notification

[Kim F. Storm]

I have noticed lately that when I run M-x gdb on emacs, sometimes the
gdb session runs wild sending lots and lots of frames-invalid
notifications.  

I don't see any actual handling of this notification.

The frames-invalid annotation should just be ignored now, like many other
annotation. If it is reproducible, set the variable gdb-enable-debug-log to
t, generate the frames-invalid notifications and post the value of
gdb-debug-log to emacs-devel. Below is a (normal) sample transaction.

What version of gdb are you using?

 (send "server info frame\n" gdb-frame-handler)
