First I would like to thank all those that responded to my posting.

As I had mentioned in my posting, I had no clear example to show the problem
and was not actually reporting a confirmed problem, but trying to see if
anyone else had seen a similar problem.  I am sorry if this point was 
misundertood.  We have since done some more tests and cannot repeat the
problem.  I suspect it may have been due to using a mixture of GCC and Sun cc
compiled code along with some possible compilation errors.  DbxTool now seems
to be working fine on code compiled completely with GCC.

Several of you suggested switching to GDB in place of dbx.  I personally will
use either one of these and I especially find the use of GDB in Emacs very
handy from home where I don't have a nice windowing environment.  However,
my users are rather reluctant to move to different tools, especially if they
don't provide the same type of interface.  So to help me out and promote the
use of GDB, could someone provide me with information about SunView or X
Windows interfaces for GDB with similar functionality to DbxTool.  I seem to
remember seeing an interface some time ago, but it was rather crude and had
problems.  That was when I learned to use the Emacs interface.

Again, thanks for the help.
