gdb 5.0 bug "no symbol in current context"

[Ronald Fischer]

The following bug can be reproduced with gdb 5.0 and gcc 2.95.2 running
under Solaris 2.6.

Compile the enclosed files with 

        g++ -g *cc

and run

        gdb a.out

Inside gdb, do a 

        print cs::constants::dbDirEnvVarName

and you get

        no symbol cs in current context.

Interestingly, if you quote the expression, as in

        print 'cs::constants::dbDirEnvVarName'

the symbol is printed correctly.
