I'd already wondered about this:
(gdb) display/i $pc
1: x/i $pc
=> 0xfed6c634 <strlen+148>: ld [ %o2 ], %o1
(gdb) p/x $o2
$1 = 0xf9400000
#1 0x009e0208 in gt_pch_note_object (obj=0xf93ffff8,
note_ptr_cookie=0xf93ffff8,
note_ptr_fn=0xcfe544 <gt_pch_p_S(void*, void*, void (*)(void*, void*),
void*)>) at /var/gcc/reghunt/trunk/gcc/ggc-common.c:285
285 (*slot)->size = strlen ((const char *)obj) + 1;
(gdb) p obj
$2 = (void *) 0xf93ffff8
(gdb) p (char *)obj
$4 = 0xf93ffff8 "\001\257\257\257\257\257\257\257"<error: Cannot access memory
at address 0xf9400000>
where obj doesn't look like a string ;-)
