If the unwind attempt fails with an error then an ErrorFrame class would be used
to terminate the stack chain (with frame id == 0).

This way, a back-trace could contain an additional error frame vis:

   (fhpd) where
   #0 foo
   #1 bar
   #2 <<error: invalid memory address at 0>>
   (fhpd)

making it easier to differentiate between a bad back-trace and a properly
terminated stack.  In addition, if the user should want, they can even examine
that frame.
