I'm attempting to do some debugging, but the stuff I'm seeing isn't making
any sense.  I'm using a tool called "Insight" and when I have it display
the code and assembly intermixed, I'm getting stuff like:
	2526		assert (root.childNodes.item(1) === secText);
-	0x8050959	<_D8unittest7testDOMFZv+197>:		or     %ch,0x1(%edx)
-	0x805095c	<_D8unittest7testDOMFZv+200>:		push   %ebx
-	0x805095d	<_D8unittest7testDOMFZv+201>:		call   0x8077470 <_assert_5mango7cluster3qos6socket7Cluster+32551>
-	0x8050962	<_D8unittest7testDOMFZv+206>:		add    $0x4,%esp
	2527		printf("11b\n\0");
	2528		if (secText.parentNode !== root) {
	0x8050965	<_D8unittest7testDOMFZv+209>:		call   0x8069e2c <_D5mango3icu7UString7UString5_ctorFAubZC5mango3icu7UString7UString>
-	0x805096a	<_D8unittest7testDOMFZv+214>:		push   %eax
-	0x805096b	<_D8unittest7testDOMFZv+215>:		mov    0xffffffe8(%ebp),%eax
-	0x805096e	<_D8unittest7testDOMFZv+218>:		mov    (%eax),%edx
-	0x8050970	<_D8unittest7testDOMFZv+220>:		call   *0x6c(%edx)
-	0x8050973	<_D8unittest7testDOMFZv+223>:		mov    %eax,0xfffffff4(%ebp)
	2529			printf(secText.parentNode.nodeName.toUtf8 ~ "\n\0");

None of this code has anything to with anything in either mango.cluster or mango.icu until line 2529 which doesn't even use the constructor!  All of these are used at some point in the code, but they're not even remotely near the source that insight thinks they are.  The net result is that I'll place a breakpoint in the source, and it'll stop at the wrong point in the program, but make me think it's the right stop until I see the assembly it's stopped it.... And the places at which it allows me to place break points don't even make much sense (like blank lines).... it's not usable in other words.

If Insight is having this problem, it's very likely that gdb does as well, since Insight is just a front-end for gdb.

What's going on here?  This is a BIG problem for me, as it makes debugging nearly impossible, which typically raises my frustration level quick enough that I end up quitting early a lot.
