Can you plese try to make sure which frame you are inspecting,
and, especially, whic is the type fo the frame?
I have the theory that you (or your tools) are touching a frame
that isn't meant to be seen at all, and I should either drop it
(by doing a harder implementation) or hide it, by modifying
the introspection features.
There are so-called C-frames in Stackless, which might not
support all of what is needed to support, so I'm open for
suggestions.
There is also a common frame, common to all tasklets in a
system threads, which handles the shut-down of a tasklet.
I might have to augment it with better introspection features,
or I might to really hide it, as a surrogate for the None
b_back values.

To be able to talk about your application, I really would
need to have your application. Your error messages don't
tell me anything, since I'm not used to inspect.findsource.

thanx - chris
