This is no surprise.
Without namespace support in the symbol table, sometimes the names
aren't quite correct. 
5 to 1 says ptype 'numpunct<char>' works.

It's good to not have to worry about this stuff anymore.

I think i'll go implement dwarf2.1 namespace support in gcc.
That way, I can at least say "Well, we output the info, but gdb can't
use it".
