I made some errors due to fact the copy of gdb was optimised. apologies.
The break PC for the prior run of handle_inferior_event was assumed to be the
current runs value.

when the target hits a break at the subroutine, whereopon gdb sets a break at
the subroutine return point.
When it hits this return point break, it appears to erroneously pass the
frame_id_eq test at infrun.c:2285
The data passed to frame_id_eq is identical to the previous invocation when gdb
was servicing the break within the subroutine.
According to the block comment, it is only entered when a subroutine is
debugged, so I assume this is an error.
So gdb appears to be mistakenly assuming that it is in a subroutine when in
fact it has returned.
