I confirm that there was only 1 entry in that list, and that was the
normal location list entry.

Indeed.

I've trying to convince the producer that the debugging info they
generated is wrong on the basis that "it doesn't say what you want
it to say", but we also agree that it's peculiar at best. If we can
agree that overflow situation are erroneous in the sense that
consumers are allowed to do whatever they want, that would be good
enough for me.  However, if we decide to define what this means,
then I can adjust GDB to follow that decision...

Thanks for the feedback.
