 Unfortunately I do not have the privileges to install new versions of
 GDB.
 
 But the test case that provokes the bug is really simple. The files
 are attached with this mail. Just do gcc -g dumbprogram.c, start gdb
 with a.out, source dumb.gdb and run. Version 5.3 of gdb crashes with
 segmentation fault.
 
 Best regards,
