That's odd.  I could understand it if gdb were passing DMGL_VERBOSE to
cplus_demangle().  But as far as I know it is not doing so in any
version.  Could you extract a few of the larger demangled names from
each version, and post them?  It might be a good double-check that
something isn't weirdly broken.  It would be nice to have the mangled
symbol name too, but not critical.

Thanks.

Ian
