HELP: gcc V2.1 & dbxtool

Hi, 	
	Im wondering if some kind soul can help me.
We have gcc v2.1 on our sun system here and I'm having a wee problem while
using dbx (well dbxtool to be exact, but same difference).  I have compiled
my c-source code with the -g flag.  Dbxtool appears to work fine until I try to
step through a 'while' or 'for' loop more than once.  The first time through the
loop everything is fine, however on returning to the top of the loop dbx gives
the following message: 'Can't write to process (**address**)' and then halts
and will execute no further.  This is not a problem with my code as I have
tried setting breakpoints at 'while' loops further on in the program.  It
only occurs when single stepping through a loop.

Does anyone have any ideas or remedies?  Any help will be much appreciated.
