   I had a defect that wandered into dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc() of
dwarf2loc.c, specificly the section (in the current FSF CVS top-of-trunk
version) :

  if (size == 0)
    {
      retval = allocate_value (SYMBOL_TYPE (var));
      VALUE_LVAL (retval) = not_lval;

      set_value_optimized_out (retval, 1);
    }

This then clause looks odd.  If "size" actually is zero, then shouldn't

there be a "return retval;" to close that then block?  If not, the
value allocated in that block leaks when "retval" is overwritten in
each case below that.
