    Could someone who knows the gould architecture give me a
  (reasonably general) way to find out if a pc value is within the
  "start" routine (the one that is called by the kernel and calls
  "main").  This is so that I can tell when a backtrace is begun from
  a location within this routine so that I can keep it from going any
  higher (the FRAME_CHAIN_VALID macro checks the chain *above* the
  current one).  In all of the machines which gdb currently runs on
  except the gould machine, /lib/crt0.o is the first object file
  loaded (always) and if a pc value is less than
  "first_object_file_end" it may be assumed to be inside of this
  routine.  Is this a reasonable assumption for the gould machines
  also?

    Please reply to "randy@wheaties.ai.mit.edu".  Much thanks in
  advance . . .
