xxgdb 1.05 breaks compiler under SVR4

	I grabbed xxgdb 1.05 from some place in France (I think).
Attempting to compile it on various AT&T SVR4 2.1 machines around
here always comes up with a fatal error in /usr/ccs/lib/acomp
on the file datadpy.c.
	It appears that the compiler is going nutso with some
dynamic allocation as the disk goes crazy and everything else
seems to get swapped out.  I've played with the header files
and such and the only thing I've been able to figure out is that
the compiler gets to at least line 234 of datadpy.c before
it starts mallocing itself into oblivion.
	I know I've got a reasonable amount of free memory as
I've tried the compile on the system console with no other users,
and I've been able to compile much larger source files than this.
	Has anybody seen this behaviour before, and maybe
fixed it?  Or at least have a i386 SVR4 binary you might mail
me?  Thanks.
