I've put out a new version of gdb-3.6-.bin.Z and released the first
patch for gdb-3.6- on A/UX. This patch fixes a bug caused when trying to
debug files with too many COFF sections (the old limit was 9; the new
limit is 32). This broke debugging most X clients that used shared
libraries, since each shared library adds three sections to the base
three, and use of shared libraries at all adds one more section. Since
most shared X clients are using libX11_s, libXmu_s, and libc_s, the old
limit was quickly surpassed.

I haven't updated either the original diffs, the sources, or the SDB-
speaking versions of gdb for this patch. The patch only changes a few
lines and adding it to the SDB-supporting version should be easy,
however.
