[gvd-devel] gvd dies with Solaris dbx 4.0

[Lemberger Manfred]

GVD dies with dbx 4.0 on Solaris 2.6 (Sparc)

GVD sems to invoke dbx with a "-n" parameter, which is unknown.

Comand line:
gvd --debugger dbx

I use the following dbx version:

dbx: Workshop 4.0 01/26/99_Patch_104731-06 [dbx 4.0]


gvd log file:
