gdb?  Shouldn't you be using adb? ;PP

And then there's that wonderful tool fsdb if you want to debug the
Solaris fs's, to quote:

     Wherever possible, adb-like syntax was  adopted  to  promote
     the use of fsdb through familiarity.

Yes.  Because we all love the adb syntax. *sigh*

There's a million and one things I don't like about Solaris, but
gdb brokenness is a fair way down my "Solaris sucks because" list
personally.
