Description of problem: The problem occurs with a large program that I am debugging. It has been correctly diagnosed and fixed in the URL. It is fixed in later versions of GDB too (6.7 for sure). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (6.5-25.el5_1.1rh) How reproducible: I guess while debugging large programs, try and print some values. Actual results: dwarf2_read_address: Corrupted DWARF expression. Expected results: values for variables. Additional info:
Fixed in HEAD by upstream: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-01/msg00561.html
