>Description:
i built gdb-6.8 last night and cored it while debugging something this
morning. i checked gnats and found what appears to be the same
issue( Problem Report: 2353) but with a different cause. i was able
to reproduce it and the cause appears to be adding a variable name to
the frame command as such 'f 2 variable'. i think that the
'(gdb) f 2 prr_p
#0 0x00000002 in ?? ()' in the below output indicates the issue
where the variable is in the current frame but but doesn't exist in
the frame being referenced.
i just wanted to pass this info along in case it was useful. i may
try to look at the gdb source this weekend to see if i can identify
what's happening.

the commands i entered (output deleted) were:
$ gdb xxxxx
