Hi,
	I have several questions about gdb.

	1. Why do I sometimes get plagued with "signal 5 Trace/BPT
	   trap" when trying to continue from a breakpoint?

	2. Does anyone have a port of gdb to the DECStation 3100 (mips
	   chip)?

	3. Can gdb be made to print out structs one elt per line
	   showing nested struct with indentation like dbx? Can
	   someone point me at the routine to hack if I need to do
	   this myself?

	4. Why do I sometimes but not always get the message "no
	   memory for string constant" when doing something like
	   set fp = fopen("foo.out","w")?

	5. Why do I sometimes get the message "virtual memory
	   exhausted"?

	6. Why does the expression print func(arg,arg,arg) not always
	   produce the same value when called several times in a row?
	   Somtimes I have to say p ualarm(0,0) 4 or 5 times before it
	   works?

	*. All questions relate to gdb 3.1.2 on a Sun 3/60 running
	   SunOS 3.4.

	*. TIA!
