[gnu.emacs.bug] xgdb V2.8 dumps core on a microVAX

reilly@ATARI.NAC.DEC.COM (Michael Reilly) (09/20/88)

I don't know if this error report belongs here or not.  Is there a bug-gdb
mailing list?

----

The following shows my attempt at using xgdb on a microVAX running Ultrix.
Note the X Toolkit warning message.  The core dump occured when I set a
breakpoint in the main function and clicked on the "run" button.

-- Information --

gdb - V2.8 (as received with Emacs 18.52 + the patch posted by Mr. Stallman)
gcc - V1.28 with no patches installed
X   - V11R2 as released by MIT with patches through number 33 applied.

microVAX II/GPX 8-plane color system
