When working on GDB support I found a typo. I assume the comment is
correct. If you step to this particular instruction and backtrace, GDB gets
lost.
I haven't tested the fixed version yet, but I'm pretty confident in this
patch :-) Please apply.

The patch looks obvious, but I'd still like to see a "yeah, I tested it
now, and yes, gdb DTRT after the fix.."

It looks good, but it triggered a related bug in GDB and 2.6.10-rc1
locked up while I was debugging that. I'll get back to you once I can
test it.
