The gcc doc is somewhat confusing.  I read your description as saying
that locals may be totally smashed to random numbers (and the first
sentence in the gcc description implies that as well).  However, the
example they give is a pathological case where a local may have one of
two (well-defined) values, and it's not defined which of those two
well-defined values it will end up with.

Yuck.  But how big is it?

Another possibility is to do the magic wakeup thing we do with
mconsole stack, and have it tell us what it registers are.  Not sure
if that's any better.
