In the X server during request processing, where "stuff" is a struct xReq * with
a member named class:

(gdb) print stuff
$3 = <value optimized out>
(gdb) print stuff->class
Cannot access memory at address 0x16

The naïve conclusion for the user is that "stuff" somehow became NULL, which is
not in fact true; its value is merely being flattened to zero before computing
the offset of the "class" member.  The second print statement should be more
along the lines of "Cannot evaluate subexpression foo".

gdb version:

% rpm -q gdb
gdb-6.8.91.20090921-1.fc12.i686
