+Subject: [patch] Fix infinite loop crash on self-referencing class
+
+Hi,
+
+class C { static C s; }; is a problem for GDB as it references itself and it
+can crash. Downstream Bug:
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=627432
+
+#3 0x00000000005b2cc5 in gnuv3_pass_by_reference (type=0x1044d3c8) at ../../gdb/gnu-v3-abi.c:840
+#4 0x00000000005b2cc5 in gnuv3_pass_by_reference (type=0x1044d3c8) at ../../gdb/gnu-v3-abi.c:840
+[...]
+
+No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora13-linux-gnu.
+
+FYI the .cc file is not reproducible on - and only on - Fedora 14 GCC, filed:
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=637315
+
+I would even check it in in some time.
+
+
+Thanks,
+Jan
