deregister_frame_info w/o register?

[Robert Lipe <robertl at sco dot com>]

I finally got a chance to look at the horrible test results on COFF
mode of i686-pc-sco3.2v5.0.5.  It looks like (even for "hello, world"
in C) __deregister_frame_info() is being called when there isn't a
corresponding call to register_frame_info().  Does this ring bells for
anyone?

Certainly OpenServer has an obtuse ctor/dtor scheme becuase of the way it
handles ELF and COFF which use completely different schemes.   But this had
been working and stable until about August.   ELF remains fine.   But COFF
is going down in flames becuase we immediately fall out of the loop in 
__deregister_frame_info and into the abort.
