Description
Using DBK and bcc32 toolset, the tooltips will only ever show variable values from the latest callstack entry.  Selected a previous callstack entry shows the correct local variables in the local variables window, but hovering over a variable that is present in the locals window produces a tooltip of undefined symbol message

The tooltip evaluator should check the currently seleted stack entry when looking for variable values, not just the latest stack entry.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a console project (bcc32 toolset) with the following code

void b(void)
{
int c = 1000;
}

int main( int argc, char * argv[] )
{
int a = 123;
    b();
    return 0;
}

2. Put a breakpoint in function b on the int c = 1000; line.  
3. Debug the project - it should stop in function b
4. Hover the mouse over c and a tooltip will be shown for c
5. Hover over a in function main and it will say undefined symbol.  This is correct as there is currently no local variable called a
6  In the threads/callstack window, select the 'main' entry
7. a is now shown in the locals window, but hovering over it sill shows 'undefined symbol' even though it is now available in the selected stack entry
