Description
-stack-list-arguments is invoked when enumerating stack frames. When the call fails an exception is thrown causing the frame enumeration to fail, and thus no stack frames are reported. This situation should be handled and the stack shown without the argument values.

workaround for Visual Studio: uncheck "Show Parameters Names" and "Show Parameter Values" in the callstack window.

Research direction
Start by tracing stack-frame enumeration around the -stack-list-arguments request and reproduce the failure shown in the MI transcript. The work is done when an argument-list error no longer aborts enumeration and the stack frames are still reported without argument values.
