- I'm using UHC SVR4.0.2.0 too, and have the same problem. gdb has done this
- for as long as I can remember - certainly 4.4 and 4.5 paniced the system too!
- It is nothing to do with gcc, as compiling with cc -g also has the same effect.
- I imagine it's a bug associated in one of the /proc filesystem ioctls used by
- gdb but not sdb. As far as I know other SVR4s don't have this problem, and
- hopefully not UHC's version 3.6! But I'm waiting for SVR4.2. :-)

- ttymon/getty have nothing to do with running X...
