For the record, I confirm that this fixes it; thanks.

I tried doing this, but neither with `s' nor with `f' did gdb show what
I could recognize as an infloop (`f' always went straight to frame #0,
and `s' never got to a loop, though I entered it very many times). Is
there something more specific I could do the next time?
