🚀 go-pugleaf

I'm on a Sun 3/60 running SunOS 4.1.  I'm using dbxtool to do some
debugging.  According to the documentation, I should be able to do:

stop if <condition>

where the stop happens if <condition> is TRUE.  This has never worked for
me.  I admit I haven't tried it very often since I've never gotten it to
work.  My current specific instance is:

(3) stop  if *(char *) 1051572 != 97

When I enter this stop command, the <condition> is false.  Once I resume
execution however, dbx never stops execution when the value changes;  it
stops only when it hits another (unconditional) breakpoint.  It doesn't
even seem to be running any slower, which it should if it's checking the
condition on every statement.

Am I doing something obviously wrong here?

Any and all help would be appreciated!  Thanks in advance!
