Are you sure about that?

Yes, I wrote that line of code initially, IIRC. :-)

Right now we don't trace kernel code and the 
060 documentation says that the trace exception isn't generated 
for group 2/3 exceptions (which include all user generated exceptions) 
and my recent testing confirms that.

The 68030 is different.  The trace exception is always generated after
the insn (including any associated exceptions except interrupts) is
completed.

Anyway, I would still expect the cpu to generate a user stack frame, so I 
still don't see how we should get to the part I removed.

When trap #0 has been executed, the cpu is in supervisor mode.  Note
that the state of T _before_ execution is relevant for determining
whether an insn is traced.  See 8.1.7 in the 68030 manual.
