   I don't know if this error report belongs here or not.  Is there a bug-gdb
   mailing list?

   ----

   The following shows my attempt at using xgdb on a microVAX running Ultrix.
   Note the X Toolkit warning message.  The core dump occured when I set a
   breakpoint in the main function and clicked on the "run" button.

   -- Information --

   gdb - V2.8 (as received with Emacs 18.52 + the patch posted by Mr. Stallman)
   gcc - V1.28 with no patches installed
   X   - V11R2 as released by MIT with patches through number 33 applied.

   microVAX II/GPX 8-plane color system
