I ftped and installed 1.2.1 this evening, with precisely the same results--
both the cpp panics and the gdb weirdness live on in all their glory.

The gdb thing is the most annoying, because if I had a working gdb I could
at least try and do something with the crash dump. The exact command line I
type is: "gdb -k netbsd.0 netbsd.0.core", and it prints its copyright
message, loads the kernel image, and says:
"/home/mac/benco/mac-crash/netbsd.0.core: No such file or directory". Yes,
the file does exist :-) ktrace on the gdb process yields nothing in the way
of understanding; in fact it shows that it opens the core file quite
successfully and even reads data from it.

So my next question is: Would gdb on a netbsd/sun3 machine be likely to be
able to read and step through the dump? Failing that, would the dump be
useful to anyone else if I put it up for ftp?

Thanks!
