Hi,

   I'm running Emacs 18.55 on a Data General Aviion (Sys V with BSD
4.3).  My goal is to use GDB with Emacs like I do on my SPARCstation.
When I run GDB (M-x gdb), I get the following:

     Current directory is /home/merengue/d43/ssmith/

     Inferior Gdb exited abnormally with code 1

The following occurs when I try to start an interactive shell (M-x shell):

     Process shell exited abnormally with code 1

This is the response I get if I ran an inferior lisp (on my Sparc using
Segre's Lisp package) when the prompt pattern was set wrong.  Is this
the same problem?  The variable shell-prompt-pattern is set to "^.*% "
which is the default I believe.  My prompt does end in a "%" so I expect
this to work.

Any ideas?  I'm trying to trace the execution of the shell elisp code,
but I'm unfamiliar with the debugger and it may take a while.

  Thanks for any suggestions.

     Shaun
