Before debugging the debugger, check arch/i386/kdb/ChangeLog.  There
were some recent tweaks to the 386 backtrace, make sure you have at
least kdb v4.3-2.4.21-i386-3.

        * Convert kdba_find_return() to two passes to reduce false positives.
        * Correct jmp disp8 offset calculation for out of line lock code.
        * Use NMI for kdb IPI in clustered APIC mode.  Sachin Sant, IBM.
        * kdb v4.3-2.4.21-i386-3.
