[Crash-utility] Re: bt -f fix for s390(x)

Hi Dave, Here comes a fix for the bt -f command. The problem is that when the backchain is invalid on s390(x) we can get huge values for the stackframe size. This can lead to a termination of crash with a SIGSEGV. To fix this, we have to use in case of an invalid backchain the difference between the current backchain and the end of the stack as stackframe size. ---
