The above needs to get verified: it should be something like

        unsigned long *ebp = *((unsigned long **)t->esp);

        if ((void *) ebp < (void *) t)
                return 0;
        if ((void *) ebp >= (void *) t + 2*PAGE_SIZE)
                return 0;
        if (3 & (unsigned long)ebp)
                return 0;
        return *ebp;

because otherwise I guarantee that we'll eventually have a bug with a
invalid pointer reference in the debugging code and that would be bad.
