+A frame marked with `*' in the backtrace means that exiting that
+frame will enter the debugger. You can flag frames to enter the
+debugger when frame is exited with \\[debugger-frame], and remove
+the flag with \\[debugger-frame-clear].
+
+When in debugger invoked due to exiting a frame which was flagged
+with a `*', you can use the \\[debugger-return-value] command to
+override the value being returned from that frame when the debugger
+exits.
Use \\[debug-on-entry] and \\[cancel-debug-on-entry] to control
which functions will enter the debugger when called.
