You have to use TEST. This is the same for Stabs on 32 bit platforms,  
afaik: you always have to use the uppercase name for setting  
breakpoints on procedures/functions.

It's because nobody bothered to submit a patch to GDB yet to add  
support for var parameters in their DWARF parser, so we currently  
encode them as C++-style references. That's the way references are  
displayed by GDB.
