Strange, we don't get this message on our Sys V 68020 boxen back home, but I've seen it here on the Vaxen and on the Suns.. What do it mean? >GDB 3.1.2, Copyright (C) 1988 Free Software Foundation, Inc. >There is ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY for GDB; type "info warranty" for .. >GDB is free software and you are welcome to distribute copies of it > under certain conditions; type "info copying" to see the conditions. EH?? => >Function fatal not defined. >Type "help" for a list of commands. >(gdb) gdb seems to work anyway, but the message is puzzling.. There is a routine called fatal() in gdb [utils.c] but it does seem to be there and appears to work, since you can do: > (gdb) info frame > gdb: get_prev_frame_info: Called before cache primed And we see: blockframe.c: fatal ("get_prev_frame_info: Called before cache primed" ); Of course, this may have absolutely nothing to do with what gdb is complaining about.. Was gibts? Jordan

Ahem. Thanks to all that pointed out the .gdbinit (Curses! Foiled by .files again!) file sitting in gdb's source directory with the "b fatal" command in it. Perhaps we should nuke this from subsequent distributions? It's kinda confusing.. Jordan
