This is usually called when a library is unloaded.  I can't imagine
any reason why this might happen when running gij.

The quickest way to find this is to run under gdb and see where
__deregister_frame_info_bases is called from.

I have seen this once, and it turned out to be a bug in our interface
with the garbage collector.  But as far as I am aware little has
changed since the last gcc build thath might affect this.
