A long time ago I reported a bug in gdb on the sun where a
next command becomes a continue command if any of the routines
inside the procedure being stepped over returns a structure.
I know I am not paying for gdb, but I feel I have invested
a lot of my time and trust in the project by using it, promoting
it, and by using the gnu compilers and reporting bugs, and I feel
I have a right to expect a fix to a bug that makes the whole
gnu project almost useless on a very important platform.

Now there is a structure return in the malloc function of
libg++.  This really blows.
