-> Both of these problems occur with sun4os4, no changes to gdb or Makefile.

-> The second occurred when I tried to use gdb to find the second problem.

-> Script started on Wed Nov  8 21:07:21 1989

-> (gdb) l read_number
-> Reading in symbols for dbxread.c... and main.c... and blockframe.c...done.
-> Bus error (core dumped)

The second problem goes away when gdb is compiled with sun's cc.  

With that, I managed to track the problem down to the stab entry for
the constructor of the Graphic class in InterViews...
