Ok, it sounds like I should perhaps back level my debugging machine to Red Hat 7.2 or 7.3? A guy working for me remote in Australia tells me that he is using the patched 5.1.1 just fine on RH 7.2... But when you do get this into the stock gdb, please let us all know ;-) Regards, --- Kendall Bennett Chief Executive Officer SciTech Software, Inc.
