>How-To-Repeat:
It contains the code:

  /* FIXME: cagney/2002-09-13: This is just so bad.  The MIPS should
     have a pseudo register range that correspons to the ABI's, rather
     than the ISA's, view of registers.  These registers would then
     implicitly describe their size and hence could be used without
     the below munging.  */
  if ((*lvalp) == lval_memory)
    {
      if (raw_buffer != NULL)
        {
          if (regnum < 32)
            {
              /* Only MIPS_SAVED_REGSIZE bytes of GP registers are
                 saved. */
              LONGEST val = read_memory_integer ((*addrp), MIPS_SAVED_REGSIZE);
              store_address (raw_buffer, REGISTER_RAW_SIZE (regnum), val);
            }
        }
    }
