in gdb references to a class variable (member) cause it to crash.  At least
this happened with the following class:

class symbol {
  char* name;
  symbol* next;
  // hash table
  static symbol* table[RADIX];
  // public methods
public:
  symbol(char* n) { name = n; next = 0;};
  friend int lookup(char*);
};

I referenced symbol::table[0] and boom.  Otherwise I'm very pleased with the
combination of g++ and gdb.
