Hi!

I`ve got trouble using dbx:

Maybe there is someone, who knowns the structure of the debugging information 
produced by compilers whith the -g options.

I tried the following:

gildor % dbx <program>
Reading symbolic information...
dbx: internal error: bad input on type id "FUNMAP" at 
                                  "t27=s8name:26,0,32;function:20,32,32;;" c> @

I did load the executable into emacs and found exactly this string somewhere
in the file, rather at the end (99%). It supose it to be part of the symbol
table. I removed the string with emacs and dbx started up as it should. Of
course I could not do any debugging because I rot the whole symbol table.

Since the type FUNMAP is imported from the GNU readline library (1.1), I do
not want to change anything in the source code.

What is the meaning of this entry?
What is wrong with it?
Is there maybe a patch to get the debugger working? 
(I don`t need that type for sure!)

Here is my equipment:

Sun SPARCstation 1+
Kernel Version      : SunOS Release 4.1.2 (GENERIC)

I am using the SunOS Pascal-Compiler pc in combination with the GNU gcc.
