The following is a script of a session with a freshly built gdb 3.3
on an Intel iPSC/2 Hypercube (config = i386-sysv3.2):

Bpt 3, main (Error reading memory address 0x2543acdd: I/O error (5).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The memory read error appears to be happening in read_inferior_memory,
but it isn't clear why.  I have no idea what is wrong with the
symbol table.  If anyone out there has encountered these problems
and knows of a fix, please let me know.  Thanks in advance...
