Our application under development runs under ULTRIX 4.0 and uses shared
memory. Unfortunately when a core is produced, the content of mapped
shared memory sections is not saved.  As a result, the shared memory
content can not be examined via dbx.

Would anybody know a future version of ULTRIX that would fix this?

We are already trapping signals so we could produce a file with the shared
memory content but we would need a debugger that can interpret the information
(using the symbols from the object file). 

Would somebody know a public domain debugger that could do the job or one
that could be easily adapted?

Thanks in advance.
