Problems with gdb on Solaris 8

[David Frager <dbfrager at attbi dot com>]

I have been experiencing problems with debugging programs on Solaris 8.

The programs are compiled using g++ 3.2, and I am attempting to debug running gdb 5.3
Both my modules and the ACE library used by my modules are compiled with optimzation turned off and debug turned on.  Additionally, the module is not striped.

I have attempted to set other breakpoints, but I get the same results.

# gdb ./MIBtest
