Does anybody remember...

[Michael Snyder]

Does anybody remember a Harvard Architecture issue, wherein you did
something
like take the address of a function, which caused gdb to scrunch the
address
down into the target-pointer format and then re-expand it into the
unified-address
format, with possible loss of information in the process?

I think Jim Blandy did something to prevent this from happening, 
but it seems to have crept back in again.
