Re: gdb crashes on Solaris

[Andrew Cagney <ac131313 at cygnus dot com>]

Hi,

Can I suggest creating a bug report for this. See:
	http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/bugs/
GDB is currently moving from e-mail to the web as the prefered way of 
tracking bug reports.  If you have difficulty doing this, please let me 
know.

 From memory the 64 limit is a known problem and being worked on, abet 
slowly.  In the mean time, the below should get an array bounds 
assertion check so that the code doesn't smash memory.

enjoy,
Andrew
