Please try gdb-5.0, I fixed this bug a *long* time ago (like 7 or 8
months).
It has nothing to do with the SMP linux kernel, it has to do with
stabs being amazingly bad at C++.
As an alternative, if you can't use gdb-5.0 for various reasons (IE
you aren't allowed or whatever), use -gdwarf-2 instead of just -g,
which will give you DWARF2 debug info, which works much better with
C++.
