Hello,

Just to report that 5.2 suffers from the same problem as 5.1 on Tru64.

This for _any_ executable, either compiled with gcc or the native cc.

After applying a suggested patch (adding the .sbss section in 'symfile.c')
things improve slightly ...

Now you can debug, but the last three lines are repeated all too often...

Greetings,
