Subject: bug#13336: `next-frame' should not choose the *Backtrace* frame while debugging

I don't think so.  There's a gazillion things you can do while
edebugging that will make stepping through the code not behave like it
would otherwise (moving frames to different terminals, closing frames,
opening new frames, etc).  Adding something special here for *Backtrace*
would just be confusing, so I'm closing this bug report.
