[Jim, Elena, sorry I keep saying cygnus instead of redhat :-(]
Here is a patch that fixes the problems discussed on the discussion
list. Eli pretty much convinced me that this is the right approach.
We can still discuss the other uses of basename() in GDB, but since
this fixes a rather serious bug on FreeBSD (and I suppose other
systems as well), I'd like to get this in ASAP.

from Mark Kettenis <kettenis@gnu.org>
* symtab.c (lookup_symtab_1): Use lbasename (NAME) instead of
basename (NAME). The FreeBSD basename returns a pointer to a
static buffer, even if it's simply returning a string identical to
its argument.
(lookup_partial_symtab): Likewise.
