I suggest you try gdb, the GNU DeBugger, if you are unhappy with dbx's
faults, or just want a better debugger.

The latest version 2.5 (released with version 18.50 of GNU Emacs) runs on:

m-isi-ov.h	m-sun3.h	m-vax.h
m-merlin.h	m-sun2.h
m-news800.h	m-umax.h

Information on obtaining gdb via ftp or tape can be gotten from:
