Strange, we don't get this message on our Sys V 68020 boxen back home,
but I've seen it here on the Vaxen and on the Suns.. What do it mean?

 EH?? => >Function fatal not defined.

         >(gdb)

gdb seems to work anyway, but the message is puzzling.. There is a routine
called fatal() in gdb [utils.c] but it does seem to be there and appears
to work, since you can do:


         > (gdb) info frame
         > gdb: get_prev_frame_info: Called before cache primed

And we see:

        blockframe.c:   fatal ("get_prev_frame_info: Called before cache primed"
);

Of course, this may have absolutely nothing to do with what gdb is complaining
about..

Was gibts?
