gdb bug report

[Gary Spezia]

Hello:

The version of GDB: 
GNU gdb 5.3

The type of machine you are using, and the operating system name and version 
number:
IBM xSeries 346, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server version 8 service pack 3

What compiler (and its version) was used to compile GDB:
Don't know, did not recompile GDB

What compiler (and its version) was used to compile the program you are 
debugging:
gcc (GCC) 3.2.2

The command arguments you gave the compiler to compile your example and observe 
the bug:
cc -g -o gt gt.c

A complete input script, and all necessary source files:
input script below, source file gt.c attached.

A description of what behavior you observe that you believe is incorrect:
1. run gdb with "gdb gt"
2. set breakpoint with "b 48" (source line is "acount++;")
3. run target program with "r xxx". Program produces output just before 
breakpoint:
    "unbound more=0 myoptind=2 optind=2 acount=0 arg=xxx"
4. examine external variable optind with gdb command "p optind". It produces:
    "$1 = 1"
The value of optind is actually 2.
