I agree with you.  (It does seem highly improbable that all of the above
calls occur from eval.c, line 41, doesn't it?) 

Please try a development version of GDB and let me know if you
still see this problem.  I believe this problem is fixed by
the following changes committed 2001-09-06:

	* dbxread.c (process_one_symbol): Don't use error result from
	find_stab_function_addr().
	* partial-stab.h (case 'F'): Likewise.

	* partial-stab.h (case 'f'): Make SOFUN_ADDRESS_MAYBE_MISSING
	code match that used for case 'F'.  This fixes the divergence
	that was introduced by my 1999-09-14 changes to partial-stab.h.

We are attempting to decide if the above changes ought to go in
the 5.1 branch, so your feedback would be really helpful...

See http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/download/ for information about
downloading a development version of GDB.
