GDB or ROBOTUSSIN bug

Problem : When we issue GDB A.OUT, GDB exits with the message 

	MACH3.malloc : MACH_CALL failed

We used MASM on a SCO Unix system to generate OMF format objects,
then converted the OMF format objects to COFF binaries using
SCO's utility CVTOMF. The COFF binaries were then converted
to A.OUT format using FSF's ROBOTUSSIN utility. ROBOTUSSIN utility
did not issue any erro messages. Next, we did a

	 CC -g t.c <A.OUT binary files> 

to generate A.OUT on Mach system. If we execute "a.out", it starts execution
but GDB does not work.

Incidentally, NM utility displays all the external and public symbols,
but SIZE utility invoked on the "converted COFF" files lists all
fields as zeros.

Can someone shed any light on this problem ? Is this a problem with
GDB or ROBOTUSSIN. I can provide source, etc. if needed.
