Configuration: decstation
I'm having a wierd problem with gdb. When I first compiled
it, gdb didn't read it some characters correctly. Some it would beep
at, some it would ignore.
For example, q it would beep, l it would ignore, but Q and L were
fine. It seems to be the same set of characters every time it happens.
However, it doesn't always seem to be a problem. When I first
compiled it, it was mis-reading those characters. However, I tried
it a day later, and it seemed to be working. So, I installed it into
/usr/local/bin. Today, I was trying to write an example, and it was
working fine until I tried to use gdb on the included program. Then
it started acting up again.
Any suggestions, hints appreciated.

PS This program is intended to be a short test of how to
find seg faults and bus errors. Please no comments on
my C-programing ability. ;)
I compiled it with gcc-2.2.2 like:
example% gcc -g gdbtest.c -o myecho
-------------------- Begin Included file --------------------
#include <stdio.h>
int printstuff(char * string)
{
return printf("%s ", string);
}
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
for (; *argv != NULL; argv++) {
printstuff(argv);
}
}
