The problem of seeing things happen at etext+XXXX occurs when gdb doesn't have symbols for part of the address space where it finds the program executing. This is a shared library problem. GDB compounds the problem by claiming it will single-step to the end of the procedure and then sometimes doing something different. GDB-4.0 will have SunOS shared library support, courtesy of Schaefer@asc.slb.com. At the moment, this support is not pretty, but it works better. I hope to make it work better by GDB-4.0. In the meantime, the easiest circumvention is to link programs statically if you want to debug them with gdb (link with "cc -Bstatic" or "ld -Bstatic"). If you compile with gcc -g, it already does this. John
