Sorry to post, but mail address was not known.

Did you try declaring foo[] correctly, as in

  static struct foo_t { char *a,*b; } foo[] = {
    { "foo", "bar" }, 
    { "hello", "world" },
    { "what's", "up" }
  };

??? Many compilers won't accept it the way you've shown.
What that has to do with dbx, though...
