Your program works fine for me on:

  native i686-pc-linux-gnu
  red hat 8.0
  gcc 3.3.4
  binutils 2.15
  gdb 6.2

I also tested with gcc 3.4.1 and gcc 3.5.0 20040811 (experimental).
All worked fine.

However I see the bad breakpoint on Fred.cpp:12 with

  native i686-pc-linux-gnu
  red hat 8.0
  gcc 3.2-7-rh
  binutils 2.13.90.0.2-2-rh
  gdb 6.2

  (gdb) break Ethel.cpp:12
  Breakpoint 1 at 0x80488b5: file Ethel.cpp, line 12.
  (gdb) break Fred.cpp:12
  Note: breakpoint -1 (disabled) also set at pc 0x0.
  Breakpoint 2 at 0x0: file Fred.cpp, line 12.

Can you report:

  output of "gdb --version"
  output of "gcc -v"
    (or if the C++ compiler is not gcc, the equivalent)
  your os name and version number

I think you will have to install a newer gcc.
It's not hard, if you use the "--prefix" option to build gcc.
