It seems when an interrupt or signal occurs, which results in an exception frame (with frame pointers on), KDB has trouble decoding that frame properly when using the backtrace functionality. If I get past the exception frame, the rest of the backtrace looks fine.

Has anyone seen this behavior? I am using KDB 4.1.


Which architecture? Every arch has different ways of decoding the frames.
