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

I originally posted this to bug-gnu-emacs.  Someone was nice enough to inform me
of the existance of this list.  I apologize to anyone who has already seen it.

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.
