We need more precise and if possible complete reproducers for such reports.

Are you sure this isn't because of optimization artefacts, or wrong info
given by gdb ? Remember that gvd is a graphical front-end to gdb, the
underlying debugger.

Again, we would like a reproducer to investigate.

Sounds like a gdb problem to me. You should see whether the same problem
occurs with plain gdb.
