Re: misrepresentation of complex numbers

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply (been away).

I don't think this is a bug. The output from the gdb print command for
certain FORTRAN values does not need to match the output from the
FORTRAN print statement. Consider arrays, particularly large
multi-dimensional ones, that become completely unreadble with the
FORTRAN print statment, but handled quite well with the gdb print
command.

In addition it is much easier to parse the output values provided by the
gdb print command.
