Hi mmmtoxic,

  Thanks for reporting this problem.  Unfortunately the issue is in the
  name demangling code in the libiberty library, which is actually part
  of gcc, rather than the binutils.  (It is used in binutils, but not
  maintained here).  So please could you report the bug to gcc.

  I should also point out that it is quite possible that this problem
  will not be fixed, as it has already been reported (to gcc) several 
  times before.  The underlying issue is that the name mangling format
  allows for infinite recursion, and so it is always possible to 
  construct an artificially mangled name that will require an infinite
  amout of stack space in order to demangle properly.

Cheers
  Nick
