Have a look at

  http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/bugs/1465

I just mailed in an analysis of a similar bug.  It will take some
time for gnats to post it.

Briefly, the call tree is:

  lookup_symbol_aux
    current_language->la_lookup_symbol_nonlocal
      lookup_symbol_file
	lookup_symbol_static                    [1]
	lookup_symbol_aux_block
	lookup_symbol_global                    [2]
	lookup_possible_namespace_symbol        [3]
    lookup_symbol_aux_symtabs                   [4]
    lookup_symbol_aux_psymtabs

You are probably getting a hit at [3].

Check the value of "block" in lookup_symbol_file.  I bet that
you have block=0.  That prevents [1] from finding a match in the current
static block.

[4] is a kludge that looks in ALL static blocks.  That's not good.
Before [3] came along as part of DavidC's namespace work,
[4] was happening all the time.

I think the right fix is to pass a correct "block" to local_symbol_aux
so that [1] can do its job properly.
