I am using gdb 4.6 and gcc 2.2.1.  When I attempt a:

int *foo = new int[size];

gdb bombs (exited abnormally)

If I use:

int *foo = malloc(sizeof(int)*size);

well everything works peachy and I can continue stepping through the
program. Is this typical for gdb?  Is there something I can do about
it?  I tried compiling with CC, same result.  If it matters, I'm using
SunOS4.1 and xxgdb as an interface to gdb.

Thanks...
