Hi there.
I can't get manuals easily to check that this is
a bug, but gdb seems not to  know the value of a static local
variable, emacs 18.55.1 on crabcake.cs.jhu.edu (Ultrix??).
If the behaviour  is a bug and if you want I will narrow it down
and give more details. Basically, M-x gdb command on
"print unused" wrong where unused static local. Source:

main(){
me();
}

int me()
{
  static int unused = -10;
  int x;
  for(x=0;x<10;x++) 
    printf("%d\n",unused);

}
