Variables having different scope but with the same name aren't distinguished

When the HSAIL code being simulated uses variables with the same name but in different scopes, the output of "info locals" command doesn't distinguish between the two scopes. Here's an example gdb trace (from the fib example) that illustrates this: For brevity I've just displayed the relevant part of the output that shows the local variables res and nm2 repeated.
