 This bug still exist in gdb v6.3.50 and 6.4.50.20060316 !?
 
 Here is output from the testsuite:

 I have also a very simple example where the problem is accuring:
 
 > cat main.cpp
 #include <iostream>
 
 using namespace std;
 
 class Info {
 public:
     int i_;
     int geti();
 };
 
 class Base {
     int a_;
     double b_;
     Info id_;
 
 public:
     Base() { id_.i_ = 10; }
     int geta() { return a_; }
     double getb() { return b_; }
     Info id() { return id_; }
 };
 
 int
 Info::geti() {
     return i_;
 }
 
 int main()
 {
     Base base;
 
     cout << "Start" << endl;
     cout << base.id().geti() << endl;
     cout << "End" << endl;
 
     return 0;
 }
 ===================================================
 > cat Makefile
 GCC = g++
 CCFLAGS = -g -ggdb
 
 
 
 all: main
 
 main: main.o
         $(GCC) $(CCFLAGS) main.o -o main
 
 main.o: main.cpp
         $(GCC) $(CCFLAGS) -o main.o -c main.cpp
 
 clean:
         rm main.o
         rm main
