gdb crash when printing C++ class

[Kris Warkentin]

I compared the vptr entries in the readelf -wi output from gcc vs. icc 
and they're certainly different.  I sent the gcc vs. icc output files to 
Daniel directly - a little too big for the mailing list.  If anyone else 
wants them, let me know.  My knowledge isn't deep enough to tell which 
differences are significant.

I set a breakpoint in dwarf2read.c at the point where the vptr basetype 
is set and what do you know?  With the icc generated code, it's never 
hit.  I've got the dwarf-2 specification printed out here...I guess I'm 
going to have to figure out what the heck a DIE is and all the other 
stuff I wish I didn't need to know. ;-)

cheers,

Kris
