   I'm having problems using gdb with g++ v1.35.  Whenver I try to run a
   g++ compiled library or insert a breakpoint, I get the following error:

   Invalid symbol data: unrecognized type-code `#' at symtab pos XXX

   Where XXX varies from compilation to compilation.

   Has anyone else had this problem ?  Does anyone know how to fix it ?

   Thanks

   Alan Shepherd.

The fix is to get GDB 3.1.2, or GDB 3.2 when that is available.
