who called a C routine - get it from the stack frame

[Walt Pesch]

This is what I get for looking at too many 3B crash dumps - it gets to
you after a while.  Y'all are right, the stack frame is not only
dependant on the OS but also very much machine specific.  For AT&T SV
releases on the 3B line, the Stack Frame does look like what I showed, 
and it does grow downwards.  For the AT&T System V on the Vax, it still
looks the same but grows upwards (97% certainty).  For anything else, 
my advice would be to get into crash and dump the stack for a couple of 
procs and figure it out yourself.  If you're lucky, the stack dump
will also contain a pretty picture showing yoy exactly what to look
for.
