I'm running GCC 2.4.5 on a sparc-sun-sunos4.1.

While debugging a program (named "histogram") that had been compiled with the
"-g" option, a segmentation fault occured, and I received the following error:

> Program received signal 11, Segmentation fault
> Reading in symbols for histogram.c...Ranged type doesn't fit within known sizes.
> (gdb) 

I get the same error on all other programs I try to debug with GDB.  I have
used GDB many times before, but I have never seen this happen until after I
upgraded to 2.4.5.  Is there something I have to do to GDB?
