On a stratus i860, using gdb-4.6 and cfront, gdb prints the virtual
table field, which it doesn't do when the program is compiled with
g++.  This is because gdb is not accounting for the difference 
between the naming conventions of g++ and cfront for the virtual
table.

Here is a sample debugging session.  It includes the type information
for the variable animal.  I didn't include the whole program, as
it is about 200 lines.
