(Apologies to those that have seen this before.  I'm reposting it
due to the gateway problems between xpert and comp.windows.x)

I'm having problems with the new xdbx on Sun 3s, Sun 4s, and DECstations.
I've got a 3 line C program that I'm testing it with.  The program runs
fine without the debugger.

Here's a summary:


Sun 3:  xdbx starts up, I position the window where I want it, click the
mouse, and xdbx exits with no messages.

Sun 4:  xdbx starts up ok, displays the program, etc.  I click on a line
and click on "stop at".  xdbx exits with a seg violation.  I have also
seen the symptoms described below for the same program on Sun 4s.

DECstation 3100: xdbx starts up, I click the mouse to position the window.
The window is displayed, there's no text in the boxes, and my system
stops responding.  The disk is being beat on madly.  After about a minute
or so, xdbx exits with "Error: Cannot perform malloc".  It looks like
most of the processes on the system have been swapped out.


Any help would be most appreciated!
