 From this I can guess what the problem is. It was not registering with 
my brain that your gdbinit file changed the state of the target. I'll 
bet that varballoons in insight are simply not "noticing" that they must 
discard their state when this occurs.

Let me see if I can come up with a test case and a patch...

Sorry!
