Out of interest. I  reproduced this myself. And I found that while fpc 
is omitting some frames, if I run in gdb and step into reallocmem, then 
gdb is able to show the stack.

So it appears, that it is possible. Though I do not know if GDB does 
this by analysing the stack only, or gdb also uses knowledge from 
disassembling the function headers....
