Eclipse 2.1
CDT 1.1
>Description:
I'm running GDB through the Eclipse IDE connected to my target via GDBServer over tcp/ip. As I step through code with the debugger, I get the following message:

../../insight-5.3/ui-out.c:130: gdb-internal-error: push_level: Assertion
`uiout->level >= 0 && uiout->level < MAX_UI_OUT_LEVELS' failed.

I found that they had this problem in the hurd user group and recommneded cranking up MAX_UI_OUT_LEVELS.  Originally set to 5, I raised it to 12, which got me farther along debugging the "HelloWorld" demo, now I've cranked it up to 32.  At this point I'm able to completely step through
the entire program, but am SURE that this not the best solution. Hoping to come up with a long term solution.

I set eclipse to output all GDB commands and have attached the output. 

Seems that a linked list would be an appropriate fix, but I'm unsure what this stacks potential for growth is.  Seems like that original assumption "not much" is invalid.  Perhaphs graphical overlays are pushing the intended boundaries.
>How-To-Repeat:
Perhaps this can be simulated without my setup.  Search for MAX_UI_OUT_LEVELS in PR's for others that have had similar problems.
