It seems that readline does not work on sun 3/80's. This a surprising
bug since it is so obvious. When I tried executing gdb for the first time
i got the (gdb) prompt, but after a few seconds it choked with a bus
error. After a little debugging I discovered it was readline, so I replaced
the call to readline in main.c with a call to gdb_readline and know gdb
is happy as a lark. Any comments?
