This problem (infinite loop, as described in problem report 521) also
affects my project. If my sysadmin applied the patch correctly (he's
pretty good), then this patch doesn't fix my problem.
We have plenty of long mangled names (mainly from strings; those sure
mangle to a long name), so that is the only clue that I have.
I just tried a quick test program with a map from string to string in
it; that didn't provoke the bug.
I might make a copy and try a binary search type of technique... not
trivial. As it is, gdb is totally useless for my project.
