 I thought I saw this the other day, but maybe I was dreaming. I can no longer reproduce it using gdb 5.0 or an older gdb snapshot from '99. With the PR 228
 patch, your example works regardless of whether I'm running in gdb or not.
 
 Note however that there is an unrelated bug with having relative paths to .jar files on your CLASSPATH (see PR 231) - is it possible your seeing this instead?
