Thanks, but I need a backtrace at each hit of the watchpoint.  The GDB
session I posted defined commands to be executed at the watchpoint, so
such a backtrace should have been executed whenever the watchpoint
triggered.  Those backtraces is what I need to determine where is the
enabled_p flag set, because one of those places is unexpected by the
code.  It's probably the last, but given what you posted, I cannot
see where did the call to prepare_desired_row originated.

Thanks.
