This appears to fix the core-dumping problem I mentioned earlier:

return dbx_alloc_type (typenums);

! This is wrong, as it can set *pp to zero if there is no comma,
! which occurs if the compiler didn't know what the type is. It seems

! *pp = (char *) index (*pp, ':') + 1;
!
/* Just allocate the type and leave it zero if nothing known */
return dbx_alloc_type (typenums);
Please mail me if this is wrong; I don't know anything about the
internals of gdb, or the way dbx information should look.
