virtual baseclass botch?

[Marc D Bumble]

Hi,

what does the following mean?

        virtual baseclass botch

I get it  when I am trying  to display the contents of  a class member
variable on a  Linux box using GNU gdb 5.1.  The  code is C++ compiled
with the gcc 2.96 compiler.

   uname -a
   Linux cadence.glidepath.org  2.4.16 #3 SMP Sun Dec  16 23:08:13 EST
   2001 i686 unknown

I  am  using STLPORT's  version  of  the STL.   Should  I  be using  a
different version of the STL?

Thanks for any assistance,

marc
