We just installed gdb on our Sun3/50 (68000-based) network.  In doing initial
experimentation, I've found the following two minor problems.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Problem #1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The "shell" gdb command appears not to work:

Command 3: gdb
(gdb) shell echo ok
crt0: /usr/lib/ld.so mapping failure
(gdb) !date
crt0: /usr/lib/ld.so mapping failure

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Problem #2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The "info registers" gdb command appears to work but cause a crash:

(gdb) i registers
