I'm having similar problems on a VAX w/ g++ 1.34.2 & gdb 3.1.1 &
gdb+ 2.8.1 (gdb+ just to be sure...).


Symptoms:

gdb: invalid symtab info for method at symbol number 21
dbx: ...dbx: internal error: unexpected value 47 at line 941 in file stabstring.c
gdb+: Invalid symbol data: unrecognized type-code `#' at symtab pos 105.


If anybody cares I can

* Poke around to find out what's going on (if somebody gives me some
  help).
* Ship off the sources for the failing program.
* Ignore the problem (assuming it's been fixed).
* Take other suggestions about what I should do.
