Subject: BUG in GDB 3.0 - can't evaluate (ptr - &array)

In GDB 3.0 (on a Sun 3) you are allowed to:

	print pointer_variable - array_variable

but if you try to:

	print pointer_variable - &array_variable

you get the message:

	Argument to arithmetic operation not a number.

Shouldn't these two expressions evaluate to the same thing (and in
the same way)?
