	* blockframe.c (find_pc_partial_function): If find_pc_overlay
	fails, try find_pc_section.  Fix PR c++/1267.
	* minsyms.c (lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc): Use find_pc_section
	instead of find_pc_mapped_section.
	(lookup_minimal_symbol_by_pc_section): If the SECTION is NULL, do
	not default to the section containing PC.  Fix PR symtab/1519.
