Does something like this seem correct ? If an exception occured on a first
instruction of a function, show_backtrace() will call get_frame_info()
with info->func_size != 0 but very small. In this case it returns 1.
If the caller of get_frame_info() set info->func_size = 0, then it doesn't
know the size of the function, and we assume it to 128 instructions.
