Well, my crowing over the fix to my problem of sdb not being able to set breakpoints was a little premature. I was able to set break- points in all my procedures except one (naturally it was the one that I needed). I just changed one variable index from a 1 to a 2, recompiled, and now I can't set ANY breakpoints ANYWHERE. I am starting to suspect a system problem. shark!jimv wrote me to say that the same thing had happened to him (on 4.2BSD, though), he had ported the thing to another machine, run the debugger on it, and it worked fine. The binaries on the two machines compared identical. After the first system was rebooted, his problem went away. We have been having disk problems, as most of you know. We have taken to considering the BAD FREE LIST harmless and only reboot about once a week. We have not rebooted since this problem cropped up, so I am going to ask my SA to do so. If anyone can shed some light on this, please let me know. If the reboot helps, I will report it here. -- He gave the novice a long, icy stare and quietly growled, "RTFM".
