Your right. My system was built from Slackware 9.1. I ssh'ed to a 
buddy's machine that was built using Slackware 10.0. It has gcc v3.3.4 
and gdb 6.1.1. I now display the values and no "not in present context 
messages".
Oh well, wonder why it took so long for that to get fixed/included?

Well, guess I need to update my system, heavy sigh.

Thank you for getting me pointed in the right direction.
