On AMD 29000 family processors, registers are saved in a separate ``register
stack''. There is no way for GDB to determine the extent of this stack.
Normally, GDB just assumes that the stack is ``large enough''.
This may result in GDB referencing memory locations that don't
exist, so you can specify the ending address of the register stack with the
@code{set rstack_high_address} command. The argument should be an address,
which you will probably want to precede with 0x and specify in hexadecimal.
