we call containsCodeAddress with a pointer that is the return address from a function.
For the most part, this works, but in some cases, when we know a call isn't going to return, no code is placed after the call, so the return address is not technically part of the function, and this makes walking up the stack *quite* sad.

This change causes containsCodeAddress() to lie for the purpose of appeasing exceptions. Instead of having this function lie, could we solve the problem locally in the exception generators by inserting NOPs into the code stream, with commentary?
