Quite likely.  First things first though - you have an old version of 
the BFD library.

Try building GDB with the most recent version of the BFD library that 
you can obtain (preferably today's from the binutil's CVS repository).

If the problem still persists, then perhaps you could run gdb 
recursively and find out where in the bfd_cache_lookup_worker() the 
problem is occurring.  It would also help if you were able to put 
together a small, self contained test case, so that we could investigate 
ourselves.
