    Hello,
    
    Thanks for the bug report.  It has everything I need to investigate the bug.
    
    I confirmed this bug with your test program on gdb 5.2.1-4 with red hat linux 8.0, gcc 3.2-7-rh.
    
    This bug has been fixed in gdb 5.3 and gdb 6.0.  You can download gdb 6.0 from ftp.gnu.org.  I can help you download, configure, and install it if you need help.
    
    Here is what happens with gdb 6.0:
    
      (gdb) print F
      $1 = {static done = 0, junk = 1108517584}
      (gdb) print G
      $2 = {static done = 0, junk = 1107341000}
      (gdb) print &F.done
      $3 = (int *) 0x8049474
      (gdb) print &G.done
      $4 = (int *) 0x80495d0
    
    I checked the addresses with nm:
    
      % nm foo | grep done | c++filt
      080495d0 B SpList_works::done
      08049474 D SpList::done
    
    So gdb 6.0 found the right addresses and printed the right result.
    
    I am changing this PR to 'feedback'.  If you let me know that gdb 6.0 works for you, then I can close it.
