I use the stock gdb (GDB 4.11) on NetBSD/sparc 1.1 (no 'A' or 'B' as far
as I can tell) on an old SS IPC (ROM rev 2.9, serial number 37000).

I noticed the same problem with the 'n' or 'next' command, but I thought
it mostly happened on lines that had a C-preprocessor macro.

I've also noticed that gdb sometimes will start giving back bad values
for 'p' or 'x' commands after a long session.

Sincerely,
