Curiously in the documentation here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/manual/gprof-2.9.1/html_chapter/gpr
of_5.html#SEC16
the bug is not visible, possibly because it appears to describe a
different version of gprof (one which emits a list of parents for the
cycle as a whole, which current version never do).
