Problem with gdb and C++ namespaes

[Geoff Alexander]

I'm having a problem with gdb and C++ namespaces as illustrated by the
following example:

---
namespace test_ns1
{
  class Test
  {
    public:
      static int i;
  };
}

namespace test_ns2
{
  class Test
  {
    public:
      static int i;
  };
}

int test_ns1::Test::i = 0;
int test_ns2::Test::i = 3;

int main(int argc, char* argv)
{
  test_ns1::Test::i = 1;
  test_ns2::Test::i = 4;
}
---
I compile the code as

    gcc -g -o Test Test.cpp

I use gdb to debug Test by setting a breakpoint a line 24 and running
the code.  When I try to print test_ns1::Test::i, I get a "No symbol
"test_ns1" in current context." error.  I also get a similar error when
trying to print test_ns2::Test::i.  I can print Test::i, which seems to
show the value of test_ns1::Test::i.  Here's the output from gdb:

17      }

19      int test_ns1::Test::i = 0;
20      int test_ns2::Test::i = 3;
21
22      int main(int argc, char* argv)
23      {
24        test_ns1::Test::i = 1;
25        test_ns2::Test::i = 4;
26      }
(gdb) break 24
Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483d3: file Test.cpp, line 24.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/gdlxn/gdb-bugs/001/Test

Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff714 "¤øÿ¿") at Test.cpp:24
24        test_ns1::Test::i = 1;
(gdb) print test_ns1::Test::i
No symbol "test_ns1" in current context.
(gdb) print Test::i
$1 = 0
(gdb) print test_ns2::Test::i
No symbol "test_ns2" in current context.

Is this a known problem? What do I need to do to print the value of
test_ns2::Test::i?
I'm using gdb 5.0 and gcc 2.95.2 on SuSE Linux 7.0 for i386.
