I am compiling xgdb version 3.1 with X11R3 on a Sun-3 running
SunOS 3.5, and it crashes when I hit the Quit button.  The reason is
that lookup_cmd is writing into the command string which is a constant
in xgdb.c; therefore GCC (I'm using version 1.33 of that, BTW) makes
the constant read-only.  I fixed the problem by compiling xgdb.c by
hand with the "-fwritable-strings" option on the GCC command line.
The real fix is to change addbutton to make a copy of its input
string.
