According to posts from the gdb C++ maintainer, that's actually not a bug, 
but works-as-designed; apparently the symbol table doesn't contain enough 
info for the debugger to find the namespace "normally".  Me, I think that 
just means it's a higher-level bug encompassing the debugging format.  
Maybe 3.0 will fix it?
