Yes, this sounds suspiciously like what I see whenever I edit some
source and then forget to recompile before running gdb again.

Are you absolutely certain that you've rebuilt anything that needs to be
after a source edit? If you do a complete rebuild (make clean; make) do
you still have this problem? If not then there's some dependencies
missing in your build system which results in some objects not being
rebuilt after a source edit when they really should be.
