  Bug report for gdb 4.6, configured with sun4os4, running on a sparc with
SunOS 4.1.2:

> 
> Could you pass this along:
> In gdb 4.6, when I print objects compiled using g++ (from gcc-2.2.2)
> with embedded unions, the printing takes a LONG time (3-5 seconds on 
> a SparcStation 2) and prints "<unknown struct>" instead of something
> like "<union>".  Also, I would like to print the contents of the
> union by specifying a field: "print foo.union_member.union_field".
> 

  This user stated that gdb 4.5 is fast in this respect.
