Eric,

You're not alone in having problems with dbx and gcc 2.1.  I use xdbx
and never had any problems with the last 1.xx version of gcc.  2.1
makes it so that xdbx often thinks it can't proceed using "step" but
if you have set an appropriate breakpoint then "cont" works.  Seems to
me that 2.1 is not an improvement.
