Debugging classes with DOM::Node

Hi,

 In Quanta we have a class with DOM::Node members defined like:
class Node {
...

 DOM::Node _rootNode;
 DOM::Node _leafNode;
}

If I have a pointer to an object of type Node and I try to display it's 
content inside gdb, it takes many pages and a lot of time (never had the 
patience to see how long does it take), as it prints recursively the content 
of those members:
(gdb) print *node
$3 = {next = 0x0, prev = 0x0, parent = 0x8a04070, child = 0x0,
 _rootNode = {next = 0x82803e0, prev = 0x0,
                        parent = 0x82803e0, child = 0x0, 
                      _rootNode = {next = 0x0, prev = 0x8ca2c70, parent = 		   
                                              0x8ca8c00, child = 0x10100,    
                                             _rootNode = {next = 0x8282ff8,
....

Can something be done to avoid the recursively listing? Does this indicate an 
error in our code?

Andras
