[comp.unix.internals] DBX says "Can't write to process" !

Wizards,

I've got a problem with dbx(1). When I try:
        dbx my_bin
it replies:
        Can't write to process (0xaaaaa)
Where aaaaa == octal address. If I try it again 3 or 4 times it works,
BUT all breakpoints previously set are "forgotten".  If I ask "where",
I can see it didn't begin execution. I couldn't find any thing about
that in the MAN pages.
Any hint is REALLY appreciated. I can summarize replies and re-post
it later.

Mario.
