Gdb is dumping core when using a mapped symbol file that was created using
the -mapped option (on both sun 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, sparc2 and sparc1). The
following shows the problem:

% gdb -batch -nx -mapped -readnow foo
% ls -l foo.syms
-rw-rw-r--  1 otto     15392768 Aug  4 23:32 foo.syms
% gdb foo

Is this a known problem? Any patchs/workarounds available?

Thanks in advance,
