We recently received Ultrix-32m (Release 1.2) for our MicroVAX II and 
began writing some code in C. In doing so, a problem appeared when
initializing a static structure. The program printed out the values 
correctly, but when dbx was invoked to examine the structure, it 
printed out something entirely different. The following is a test 
program and dbx output. Is this a known problem with Ultrix 1.2 that 
we happened to miss on the net, since we have not been on that long?

PROGRAM:

	struct symtab {
		char *name;
	};

	static struct symtab St[] = {
		"abc",
		"xyz",
	};
	
	main()
	{
		int i;
	
		for ( i = 0; i < 2; i++ )
			printf( "%s\n", St[i].name );
	}

DBX OUTPUT:

	dbx version 1.2 of 2/19/86 19:05.
	Type 'help' for help.
	reading symbolic information ...
	(dbx) print St
	(
	(name = "@(#)crt0.c^I4.6 (Berkeley) 3/30/83")
	(name = (nil))
	) 
	(dbx)

Any help/thoughts are appreciated.
