-rc6, "DWARF2 unwinder stuck at" ...

[Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>]

Jan,

in 2.6.19-rc6 i'm getting frequent unwinder failures, like:

  [<c0104eb5>] dump_trace+0x69/0x1b0
  [<c0105013>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x17/0x2b
  [<c034e6c4>] __func__.18297+0xf3fd/0x3ccf5
 DWARF2 unwinder stuck at __func__.18297+0xf3fd/0x3ccf5

 Leftover inexact backtrace:

  [<c0139461>] kthread+0x0/0xeb
  [<c0104c23>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10
  =======================

it's quite an annoyance, i rarely see the unwinder getting a stackdump 
right, without 'falling back' to the inexact backtrace ...
