Hello,
         Ref: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3459
I conducted a small survey last night (~16 participants) to see where a 
bunch of hackers thought the "top" and "bottom" of a stack:

-> 12 responded with top was youngest
-> 4 had no opinion

My follow on question, which direction "up" and "down" should go, got 
side tracked into various diatribes on how one debugger was so wrong 
:-)  (i.e., "up" should go to the "top" but doesn't)

So I guess usability comes before strict compatibility :-)

Any further thoughts?

Andrew
