GDB crashes when call member function having same name as a local pointer variable

[Neo <cjia at cse dot unl dot edu>]

hi,

I am wondering if it would be a bug. The following is the tiny program I 
am using to test. This test failed on both gdb 6.5 and 6.6

=========================
#include <stdio.h>

class foo {
 private:
   int _data;
 public:
   int data() { return _data; }
   void bar();
};

void
foo::bar()
{
 char * data = NULL;
 printf("Can you do p data()?\n");   // When let gdb breaks on this 
statement, "p data()" will cause segmentation fault.
}

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
 foo obj;
 obj.bar();
 return 0;
}
===================
Do we need to provide some hints to the user such as popping up 
"this->data()" ?

Thanks,
Neo
