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 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?
