This is a pretty well-known issue for me... I still have nightmares
about it. The problem is not really insight, as I recall. Here's how to
check:

Try a couple of things. Open a console window and enter the commands:

- "list ext2_read_super": Does it return the correct source?
- "info func ext2_read_super": Right info?
- "tk gdbtk_loc ext_read_super": Right info?

Send results to the list. I'm pretty sure that gdb is failing on this,
but it has been a while, and maybe they fixed it and Insight is behind
the times.

BTW, gdb/insight 5.0 is WAY old... Even if it is a gdb problem, I doubt
you're going to get much help with a release that several years old.
