When does this happen?
The only case I know of is when you have frames on multiple displays and you
get an error (such as a disconnection) on one of the displays.

In any case, the problem with setting a breakpoint on x_error_quitter is
really a problem of gdb (maybe due to a problem in gcc):
Setting a breakpoint on a function (or a line number) should put the
breakpoint at all the places where the code was inlined.
