[comp.unix.questions] dbx woes

mikey@ontek.UUCP (Michael "Krill-Man" Lee) (04/12/90)

Of late, dbx has been serenading me with some odd error messages.  They
always appear during the "Reading Symbolic Information" phase.  Here is
a sample:

  warning: old style symbol information found in "CopyTupleArray.c"
  bogus type info

and another:

  dbx: internal error: index("minor_code", ':') failed

These result in dbx dying or failing with "no process to run" messages.

The environment is a Sun 4/110 w/SunOS 4.0.  The runfile is ~2.7MB and
contains about 55k symbols according to nm -a.  The load includes X11R3
libraries, which is the only place I could find "minor_code."  While
the size of the runfile and # of symbols are large, other versions of
the runfile which are larger and have even more debugging info work
fine.

Any clues?
