Just F.Y.I. - We've got some fixes to gdb that are needed - not sure which version of gdb we're talking about. They address problems debugging programs with sufficiently large frames. We haven't gotten them integrated with the GNU source trees yet - but, we're working on it (just need to properly sign them over... even in "free" software, there are legal issues :-) ) Unforunately, I'm not privy to the details - but I can post here later if anyone is interested (including patches.) - Dave Rivers - -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: (919) 676-0847 Get your mainframe programming tools at http://www.dignus.com
