Using Gnu C++ Version 2.2.1 with GDB Version 4.5, I find that after my
application gets to a certain size (or contains a certain module?) I can no
longer set breakpoints at methods names.  All methods get a response like

	(gdb) break AddressSpace::getw
	(Cannot find method AddressSpace::getw(AddressSpace, unsigned int)
							 - possibly inlined.)
	The class AddressSpace does not have any method named getw

This is true of both inlined and non-inlined methods, and of methods compiled
with the -g flag.

If I find the method in the source, and set the breakpoint at the source line,
the breakpoint is correctly described as 'line N in foo::baz',
so the lookup works the other way.

Do I have a version skew problem?
