nested classes incorrectly printed

[Volker Ernst]

In the following example two classes have a nested class with the same
name. Gdb incorrectly prints the contents of the nested class.

Please let me know if there is a work around to this or if it has
already been reported. I searched the mailing list archives and could
not find any mention of this problem.

Thanks,
Stuart Whitman
