What compiler are you using to build the program that you are compiling?

If you are using gcc 3.X, this is a known, unfixed problem.
See the PROBLEMS file in a recent release of gdb (like gdb 6.2)
for an explanation.  Briefly: gcc 3.X emits two or three object code
functions for each destructor; gdb doesn't understand this;
so gdb puts a breakpoint in just one copy.
