Thanks for excellent reproduction recipe. It turns out to be an
embarrassing bug in GDB, introduced by myself. I should have tested GDB 6.7
with KDevelop some time before release, but failed.

The GDB bug is now fixed in GDB CVS HEAD. If you could try that, it would be
great.

I'll think if a KDevelop-side workaround is possible.

Thanks,
