A friend of mine who does not have access to the net is having a *lot* of
problems with fortran and dbx on a sparcstation. The program is fairly
big, and while dbx will *run* the program, it cannot set breakpoints in
subroutines (complains about a bad address 0x0 and suggests that you may
be running the program more than once - he isn't) and "stepping" is more
like "nexting" - you do not step into subroutines.  The system is 4.03c.

I have seen postings here in the past complaining about fortran and dbx
but never an indication that a fix was found, nor that Sun acked the
problem.

Thanks for any info you can provide.
