 I have encountered this bug as well.  A release build (-g -O3) of one of 
 our programs compiled with gcc-3.2.3 triggers "internal-error: could not 
 find partial DIE in cache", but a debug build (-g O1) is fine.
 
 I reproduced the problem under the gdb-6.4.50.20060112 snapshot, as well 
 as the 6.4, 6.3, and 6.2.1 releases.
 
 I have not yet tried using a newer compiler release, as that could be 
 fairly disruptive, but I will give it a shot.
