Probably optimisation.  Multiple variables go into the same register (at
different times), and gdb just prints out the value of the register, which
may now be holding some different variable.

gcc-4 has location lists, which gdb-6.1 and up can use, which help quite a
bit (although it's aggravating to get "I don't know" as an answer).
