E-mail bounced, so I'm posting.

You don't say, but I assume you are still running IRIX release 3.1.

Reason: This dbx core dump is most suggestive of an old version of dbx.

	stdump -n 111 a.out
will show you the symbol table for file 111 in a.out.  Your file 111 will
show just 16 entries in the aux table......

Question:
What does the 4 lines of dbx startup say?
It should say ``dbx version 1.31'' (plus other stuff).

The message means that the aux table (an array of 32-bit unions where data
types are recorded) is being probed at a location greater than exists in
the (local) aux table for the particular source file.     This is nothing
you can do anything about :-(.

Again:  what system version are you using?  If you upgraded to 3.2, did you
recompile *everything*?    As the 3.2 release notes say, dbx cannot deal
with objects which have *any* 3.1 object code.  Any local libraries in
use?  Check them!

Hope this helps.

PS: This should be handled through the Hotline or e-mail.....Thanks.
