Well, this is hard to produce from the top of my head in a small
example program.  But I'll try next time I run into it.

Here is one example for a start:

~>cat test.cc
namespace foo {

  void g(void)
  {
  }
 
  void f(void)
  {
    g();
  }
}
 
int main(void)
{
  foo::f();
  return 0;
}
~>g++-3.0 -g test.cc
~>gdb a.out
