A while ago I posted a message asking for help debugging a large Motif
application using GCC-2.3.3 on SunOS 4.1.3.  The reason we were having
problems debugging was because GCC wrote different symbol table records
than the Sun compiler, which caused our version of ups to crash, and
the dbx/xdbx to run out of memory (because of redundant info not removed
by the Sun loader).

I received five responses.  Two of them simply suggested that gdb could
fix anything, and I should be using that instead.  One suggested that
if I compiled with -gstabs, ups would work fine.  Another gave me a change
to the GCC source that I could use to get ups to work (he didn't know
if that change is in the latest GCC).

However, it was Tim Leddelow (tim@kimba.catt.citri.edu.au), who gave me
what turned out to be the simplest solution -- upgrade to the latest
version of ups.  We had been running an older version of ups, and the
project down the hall who gave me GCC also had the latest ups.  (Why
didn't *I* think of something that obvious? :-)

Many thanks to Tim and the others who responded (Eirik Fuller, Jonathon
Hardwick, Chris Leibman, and Ken Stauffer).  If anyone would like the
full set of responses, let me know.
